Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether a spouse is considered a dependent for government employee purposes, particularly if they earn over £10,000 per month and file an Income Tax Return (ITR). While some sources suggest a spouse is always a natural dependent regardless of earnings, the practical reality and legal precedents around maintenance post-divorce indicate a spouse's dependency can be complex and not solely tied to income.

Not a legal query. The wife & Husband are dependent on each other practically. I know that in some judgments, even if the wife is an earning member, after divorce she is entitled to ask for maintenance.

Spouse is always depandent even if earning 1 carore rupee per month.
