Alimony rules for husband after divorce in India: Marriage is an important stage of life. It is not only the union of two people but also of two families. In most cases, the husband and wife live a happy life after marriage.
In some cases, the tension between husband and wife increases a lot after marriage. Gradually this tension takes the form of divorce. However, after divorce, the financially weak spouse is given alimony. This ensures that after divorce, the spouse does not face any difficulties in living. Often many people have a question whether alimony is given only to the wife after divorce? Can the husband take alimony from the wife after divorce? Today we are going to tell you about this. Let’s know –
Generally people think that after divorce alimony is given only to the wife but it is not so. If the wife is earning more money and her salary is more than the husband’s, then in this situation the husband will get the alimony instead of the wife.
The wife is earning more and is able to manage her living easily. Whereas the husband’s income is less and he is not able to manage his living. In such a situation, the court can give a decision to give alimony to the husband after divorce.
According to Section 24 and 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a husband can also ask for alimony or maintenance from his wife. However, to get alimony, he will have to prove that he was dependent on his wife for his livelihood and after divorce his financial condition may deteriorate, due to which he may face difficulties in living.
If the husband is already earning, then in such a situation the demand for alimony can be rejected by the court. However, if the husband’s salary is very low, then the court can order the wife to pay alimony to the husband.
