Hi, This is the case for my sister who has been living with us since 2 years. Her husband was having some mental what sister stop bearing after 3 years of marriage. She has a baby boy of 2 years old. We have already filed a case against him but the proceedings are on its way. As he is not ready to give divorce and she is living with us, will he be liable to pay for her expenses since the divorce is not done ? As they have not returned even the stridhan yet what are the proceedings for the same. Please advise,

Yes your sister can demand maintenance for herself as well as for her child for which we need to see what proceedings are going on in Courts that you have already initiated only after that we can suggest you the right manner.
