How much marriage expenses and maintenance can wife claim
09-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Dear sir/madam, I got married on 2015. I want to file for divorce against my wife on mental cruelty and adultery. I am having evidence for her adultery messages with her boy friend.If i initiate divorce how much amount they can claim for marriage expenses and for maintenance. They would have spend 10 laks for marriage, but i know they will claim around 30 laks. I am from poor family and i cant event give 3 laks. I am 25 years old. Can u clear my doubt that whether i have to give all the amount which they spent for marriage. Please suggest me how can i negotiate the marriage expense money.On which basis they can claim money. We both are hindu.
Firstly you must file a petition for divorce against your wife. Is your wife working or not? Do you have any children? After you file for divorce she can claim only for maintenance. You need not pay for any marriage expenses. Even if they claim any amount, the Court cannot ask you to pay the amount. Kindly contact me for a detailed discussion, so that I can give you a clear advice and further guidance.

What wife can claim from husband?
She has the right to receive her Mahr (dower) from her spouse, but does not own any of his property. She can, however, claim maintenance from him and has the right to reside in his home for the duration of the marriage.
Hello,
There is no specific provision in Indian law for return of marriage expenses. Even if your wife wants to claim it, she will have to prove that she has spent money and the same can be defended.
She can claim maintenance on the basis of her expense, her income and whether you have any children.
You may initiate divorce proceedings and file your supportive documents. Hope this clears up your doubts.

If you prove that your wife lives in adultery you need not pay for her maintenance. The permanent alimony is allowed not based on the marriage expenses. It is decided by the status of the parties concerned. It is now well settled that one fourth of the husband salary or income could be awarded as the maintenance. Your income, standard of living and expenses you need to spend on your family etc would be considered to arrive at a sum to be paid by you.
