Yes, a wife can claim money from her husband if she is financially burdened. She may seek maintenance under Section 144 of BNSS 2023, Section 24 or 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, or monetary relief under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005. However, routine household expenses are generally not recoverable unless there is proof of agreement or neglect. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
