Is a cruel wife eligible for maintenance or alimony? Why should the husband pay maintenance or alimony to a cruel wife? How much and for how long would he need to pay? Can the wife claim a share in the husband's or his parents’ property and bank balance?
Even a cruel wife can claim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC if she cannot support herself, unless the cruelty is proven in court. The amount depends on the husband's income and wife's needs. A wife has no legal right over her husband's parents' property but may claim a share in joint property. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
