it depends upon various factors viz. the difference in earning of both, the husband and wife. difference in assets and liabilities etc. But if it is a divorce by mutual consent, you need to settle the maintenance and permanent alimony at the time of executing the settlement agreement. court would order as per your settlement.

Both of you have to decide the consent terms if divorce is by mutual consent. So if the wife says she doesn't want maintenance, even without any maintenance or alimony divorce by mutual consent will be granted by the court.
