My wife has filed 125c and asking 20,000 per month. She is post graduate and doctrate degree holder and worked as leacturer in PG College on adhoc basis before marriage for I have he Bio-data and CV given to me at the time of marriage. I have other evidences as well. Currently she is not working intensly to claim maintenence. Can she claim maintenence whe she is capable? If yes then why and approximately how much? Deducting my genuine libilities ( like my normal living cost, parents medical expenses, rent etc)  I am having around 4,000 per month saving from my salary

Please advice me.

A wife who has sufficient educational qualifications, and intentionally leaves the employment to extract maintenance, is not entitled to be maintained by the husband. Contest the maintenance case well. If the lower court decides in her favour, go in appeal. She is not entitled to maintenance.

Maintenance alows on present condition. Your wife is not earning member right now, amounts of maintenance generates on gross salary not on savings. You explain you expenditure. Maintenance in 125 Cr.p.c. grants just maintenance not for luxuries of wife.
