Legal necessity can be claimed as of right.

Plz tell us qualification of ur wife. Whether she can maintain her self based on her education or doing some kind of work to earn money.?

If yes tehn no such maintenance can be given to her.

Married in 2000, i.e. 15 years back and now claiming the marriage expenses, firstly that under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 or for that reason under any other Act not legally claimable but even if that was claimable than, after 15 years it becomes time bared even to claim through court of law because of the Limitation Act that allows 3 years period for claiming the movable properties/cash etc.

The claim of Streedhan from the husband too can be claimed within 3 years it was left in his possession by the wife.

As far maintenance from the husband is concerned that will be based on the present financial status of both parties, as this changes with time, the claim for enhancement of maintenance already being paid will be judged from the present income of both parties as well the genuine requirement for the dependents.
