Legal Question in Family Law in India

Can a wife claim maintenance after a decree is obtained on mutual consent?

Details -

A wife filed divorce petition on mutual consent after a separation of 6 years and obtained the decree. She did not claim any maintenance during that process as she was earning a living. Later, due to health issues, she became unable to earn a living for herself and so seeks maintenance from her ex-husband. Is she eligible to claim a maintenance from her ex-husband at this point?
