Quick Summary

This discussion concerns a husband whose ex-wife, after obtaining a Khula (Islamic divorce) and signing a settlement agreement waiving future maintenance, has filed a new case claiming maintenance. The agreement, signed by both families and video recorded, stipulated a one-off payment and no further claims. While some views suggest a wife can claim maintenance even after Khula, legal experts advise that a duly signed settlement agreement usually bars future demands. The husband is encouraged to consult a local lawyer and consider filing a counter-case for fraud or breach of trust if the police don't act.

She might have filed petition under section 125 Criminal Procedure Code instead of 128.

There are divergent views of different high courts on this issue whether a wife is restrained to claim future maintenance allowance if she has already obtained full and final including the amount of maintenance. General or say acceptable way is that the wife even after obtaining Khulla, can demand maintenance.

1. Once Divorce is completed and settlement agreement is duly signed with consent, THEN Wife is now barred from making any further demands, in anyway whatsoever. Further matter u/s 125 is not legally maintainable AFTER above.

2. You can file a counter Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like cheating, intimidation, fraud, breach of trust etc.... against the Wife, supported with all relevant supporting Documents & Witnesses. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet.

The one time payment is made to end the litigation on maintenance, thus the husband is not liable to pay any more amount towards maintenance at any later date.
It is well settled that if any amount is paid to wife as a one time settlement to provide for her future maintenance and should not be meager or illusory. It should be sufficient for her maintenance and sustenance.
However right of the woman cannot be curtailed by awarding a sum which is too meager and which does not provide for future maintenance.
The quantum whether meager or sufficient shall be decided by court after hearing both the sides in cae the wife decides to approach court with a petition under section 125 cr.p.c. after receiving the one time settlement amount.
