What happens if I am not able to pay maintenance to my wife

Hi Recently family Court has awarded a huge amount of maintenance under 125crpc. I have been jobless since last 2 years. I will not be able to pay maintenance at all. So worst case scenario will I be jailed ? Who will pay my food expenditures in jail my wife or govt? Will it be a civil or criminal jail? Though I will be challenging the order in high court but in case I don't get relief I should be ready for worst case scenario.
