same time if the divorce by mutual consent mean wife can not claim maintenance after divorce decree..
like that if divorce decreed in the ground of adultery mean there also no need to give maintenance

There is no need to provide maintenance if the wife is employed or educated and/or qualified for employment.

Wife may be awarded maintenance u/s 125. However, bring the fact before the court that she has already been awarded maintenance under some other section. If she is earning bring the fact before the court with proofs including her educational background.

Yes, she can get the relief of maintenance through the criminal law cr.p.c. 125 case too besides getting alimony in the civil case after divorce was granted.
