If your husband denies/ignores to pay you the alimony granted by the court, then you can file a complaint before a magistrate seeking relief. After that the court will either order your husband to pay you the same or the court may imprison him for not paying the same. Law Commission of India has suggested some amendments for the same.
In various matrimonial disputes where the court sanctions payment of alimony or maintenance to the wife, it is found in practice that the husband unilaterally stops such payments after sometime and to seek redress the wife has to go through various legal actions to remedy such stoppage of payments. It is recommended that the existing law should be soamended that the husband cannot stop the payment of alimony or maintenance to the wife without prior permission of the competent court. Failure to obtain prior permission of the court before stoppage of "payment of maintenance/alimony should be treated as contempt of court punishable with imprisonment. Such amendment of law, as suggested above, will grant relief to the suffering women who are deprived of getting maintenance from their husbands."

1.2. Disobedience to decree or order for maintenance or alimony to be made punishable---The Commission has given consideration to the above. sugges- tion and is not in favour of treating failure to obtain prior permission of the court before stoppage of payment of maintenance or alimony as con- tempt of court punishable with imprisonment. At the same time, the Com- mission is not unaware of the tendency on the part of the husbands to stop payment of alimony or maintenance even though a decree or an order for this purpose has been made in favour of their wives'. To prevent such a course, the Commission would recommend that if a decree or order for the payment of maintenance or permanent alimony is made against the husband in favour of his wife by a court of justice and the husband. having sufficient means to comply with such decree or order, contumaciously dis- obeys such order, he shall, except in the cases hereafter mentioned, be liable to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period which may extend 'to six months and shall also be liable to pay fine up to twice the amount of arrears of maintenance or permanent alimony, and in no case less than the amount of arrears of maintenance or permanent alimony.
