Can my wife claim alimony if I have no income?

My marriage is a love marriage, but the girl’s parents are not interested in the marriage. We both want a mutual divorce. I have no employment, no property in my name, and no income source. In this situation, can my wife claim alimony from me?

In most cases, if you have no income or property, your wife may not be awarded significant alimony. Courts consider both parties' financial circumstances and needs while deciding the alimony amount. They can grant a nominal or temporary amount if she can prove genuine need. It is best to consult a lawyer to understand how your specific situation might be treated in court.

Even if you have no income or property, the court can still award alimony based on your spouse’s needs and your financial ability. You may need to provide proof of your financial situation, and the court will decide the alimony amount based on fairness. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
