Alimony Rules In India: In India, rules have been set for alimony after divorce. When a husband and wife get divorced after marriage, then generally the husband gives alimony to his wife. But in the meantime, a question arises in the minds of many people.
If the wife’s salary is more than the husband’s, then after divorce the wife will get alimony or the wife will give it to the husband. What are the laws in India regarding giving alimony after divorce? Let us tell you complete information about this.
If the wife’s salary is more than the husband’s then who will get the alimony?
Generally people think that only wives have the right to alimony after divorce. But if a wife is earning more and her salary is higher and the husband’s salary is less, then who gets the alimony? So let us tell you that in such a case, according to the rules, the husband will get the alimony and not the wife because the wife is earning more and she is able to maintain herself. But the husband is not able to maintain himself because his salary is less. Then in such a case, the court can order the wife to pay alimony to the husband after divorce.
What does the law say?
According to Indian law, under Section 24 and 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the husband can also claim alimony or maintenance. However, for that he will have to prove that he was dependent on his wife for his livelihood and after the divorce his financial condition will not be sufficient to sustain his life. But if the husband is earning, then perhaps the court can reject the demand for alimony. But if the salary is very low, then the court can order the wife to pay alimony to her husband.
This is how the court decides alimony
Let us tell you that the court cannot ask anyone to pay alimony after divorce just like that. For this, the court examines some aspects and issues the order only after examining the facts. In which the salary of both the husband and wife is seen. Their lifestyle is seen. How many years the marriage lasted is seen. The responsibility of the children is seen. And what kind of financial situation will be in the future. The court decides the alimony only after looking at all these things.
