Divorce or no divorce, for the purpose of maintenance claim by your wife only your income would count.
Vijay Raj Mahajan (Expert) 18 September 2018
"Ransom amount", firstly what do you mean by this term? Do you think that Indian courts order paying ransom money thus propagating the criminal offence?
You must mind the language while addressing the issue properly.
The wife can claim maintenance from her husband if she has no means to maintain herself the amount that she can be ordered depend on the financial status of both parties, the income and expenditure of the husband and as is mostly 20 to 25 % of the income in hand of the husband that is allowed by the court for monthly maintenance of wife. For maintenance purpose the financial status, property and income of husband is taken in consideration not other members of his family.
As far divorce is concerned it is for valid marriage only not marriage which is null and void, saw someone making irrelevant comments with regard to divorce as null and void of marriage, person is supposed to be an expert stating this.
Anyhow you may file for divorce if you have good enough ground for it, merely you both are unable to live together will be ground for divorce by mutual consent filled jointly by both parties only, otherwise ground of cruelty by the spouse that broke the marriage can be made ground for divorce, whether the cruelty pleaded as ground is good enough to dissolve the marriage by decree of divorce that court will decide.

I agree with expert Mr. Vijay Raj Mahajan and Mr. PS Dhingra.
No Court (not only Indian but universally) grant any ransome, as stated/ alleged by you.
However, your wife is entitled for her maintenance from your income (considering your lifestyle and standard).
Consult and engage a local prudent lawyer to contest the case(s) filed by your beloved against you. However, if you are located in Delhi/NCR and feel may contact me, (by appointment) at:
