Dear all
In the matter of divorce filed by husband sec. 13 for cruelty, desertion and psychopath behaviour,
if it is proved that wife has deserted husband intentionally and severe cruelty had done by her including her other family members in matrimonial home and with husband.
Is she will be granted maintenance by the civil court at the time of divorce decree?
everything is proven but litigation is pending for final disposal.

Its depends upon your defence against her maintenance case. But supreme court saying if a wife wantonly living alone without any reason the husbance need not to provide maintenance to her. But the husband have to show the ready and willingness to reunion or necessary steps to take her back.

Maintenance can be ordered even to a divorced wife if she has no means of survival.
