There is no bar for a divorced woman to claim for maintenance till she remarriage. The unemployment of the husband is no excuse to avoid maintenance.

Your friend is advised to appeal against the maintenance in a higher forum.

Yes. I agree with Mr.Barman.

According to the Supreme Court of India, a wife is not entitled to maintenance if she walks out of her matrimonial home willingly.In fact a lower court has ruled that an unemployed husband is eligible to receive alimony from his exwife who is gainfully employed.

Mr. S. Subramaian do yuo believe in cut n paste theory as unfortunately i had gone through four or five of your replies and every place there is a noting except " yes, i am agree with Mr. ..............." don't you have your own opinions?

please don't take it otherwise as only i had written whatever came in to my mind after going through your replies.

thanks
