@ Author congratulation as your wife been selected for OPSC you might be happy for her as she can't file false cases and false maintenanace cases on you in future if she want's divorce also as she would not like to run around court for years carrying her high profile job and once she might be caught in perjury she will suspended from her job too.

 

Now you can't ask for maintenanace but you can seek change of circumstance in the financial condition of spouse to maintain same life style as of your wife trhough 127 crpc.


I hope you could become an example to all wicked women who are always for money rather than a need of husband by getting maintenanace from his wife.

Dear Querist

the husband can claim maitenance from his wife u/s 24 of Hindu marriage Act but this section will be applicable when any case under Hindu marriage act has filed before the court or pending before the court otherwise this section will not be applicable.

Read the section 24:

24. Maintenance Pendente lite and expenses proceedings. Where in any proceeding under this Act it appears to the court that either the wife or the husband, as the case may be, has no independentincome sufficient for her or his support and the necessary expenses of the proceeding, it may, on the application of the wife or the husband, order the respondent to pay to the petitioner the expenses of the proceeding, and monthly during the proceeding such sum as, having regard to the petitioner' s own income and the income of the respondent, it may seem to the court to be reasonable.

@Subhomoy Das as the husband is still earning what he was earning at the time of last stay together he is not likely to get any maintenance since he can very well maintain pre separation life style with same salary and no wife or kid to maintain now. Regards ASHOK

@ashok husband was earning just 6000 , so he can get higher maintainence
