Wife is entitled to alimony pendente lite u/s 24 HMA even if the suit is filed for nullity of marriage.
Dr J C Vashista (Expert) 12 July 2014
When the marriage is registered u/s 8 of the HMA 1955, how it can be denied or claimed to be illegal and void?
Either false or imaginary/hypothetical information.

Agreed with Dr.Vashista.

For a registered marriage, strange claim for not accepting the marriage.
DEFENSE ADVOCATE.-firmaction@g (Expert) 12 July 2014
when wife says no legal marriage she can not claim any benefits.

There is good HC KAR judgement that mere registration paper is not final , its legality can be contested.

so file petition for nullity.

thanks all of you.

It is true that the employed wife will not be granted with interim or permanent maintenance by the court atleast to the extent of her request, but it cannot be set aside that she is not entitled to claim maintenance even if the marriage has been decreed as null and void. There is no such provision in Hindu marriage act to reject maintenance on the grounds of marriage annulled by a decree as null and void. In this case the court has not yet decided about the issue of annulment hence the application for interim mainetnance cannot be dismissed/rejected on this grounds.
