Madam,
It is not possible to offer advice in case such as yours, only a court of law, considering the relevant circumstances, can decide whether to sanction maintenance or not.
Good Luck,

A marriage is meant for sharing responsibilities of the family, the basic unit of the Society. It is not the easy path for getting maintenance.

A wife is also entitled to lead the same status of life as the husband is leading. As your income is much lesser than your husband and even your husband is not having any liability except to maintain you and himself then court may consider your liabilities and may award some amount as maintenance but you shall have to prove the income of your husband based upon strong documentary evidence.

You have to justify your claim before the court.
