she will be entitled to maintainance if she is not working. But you can challange the petition on the grounds of extra marital affair. committed by her. for further query contact 9312411481.
You may pronounce talaq to your wife, however, you shall be liable to pay maintenance to her, unless you can prove that she is living in adultery. If any Muslim women seeks compensation under the section 125 and she will be awarded maintenance by the respected court only if she is not remarried and she is not living in adultery. If adultery cannot be proved, then the husband is required to pay maintenance to the wife even after divorce.
The quantum of maintenance depends upon the status and income of the parties. The following principles were found to be relevant for the purpose:
(1) Position and status of the parties.
(2) Reasonable wants of the claimant towards food, clothing, shelter, medical attendance with treatment, education and the like.
(3) Income of the claimant.
(4) Income of the opposite party.
(5) Number of persons the opposite party is obliged to maintain.
(6) The amount required by the wife to live a similar life style as she enjoyed in the matrimonial home keeping in view food, clothing, shelter, educational and medical needs of the wife and the children, if any, residing with the wife and
(7) Payment capacity of the husband.
You can raise the plea that she is a working woman, and this will help to mitigate the maintenance expenses that the Court would impose upon you.
You should seek the help of an expert to help you with the case effectively. You can call me at 09555 507 507 or send me a mail at [email protected].
