Whether demanding of wife's salary amounts to dowry
25-Jun-2023 (In Family Law)
I from middle class family, I chose working lady so that we can lead life ourselves not depending on anyone.Within 2 months she started creating problems. Initially She agreed with me to give 5000/- every month to her parents. Now after marriage she is not giving any thing to us. If I ask their parents, they say "where is the law saying we need to give salary". Some days later there was a small internal fight and they came took her to their home even after stopping them.They threatened by going to police station.I have not taken any Dowry &I am scared like they cook up stories and come up.
Sir,
Being a husband it is your duty is to lookafter your wife and her children. In your case you are ex pecting salary of your wife is absolutely wrong. Perhaps she is at her will to diperse her income as her will and wish. You can not force her to spare or provide any part or full income which belongs to her. I advice you to make an amicable arrangement with your wife by discussing about your future savings and also for financial arrangements for your children. She will realise and support you financially. Dont force her which may lead to complications in your marital life.

You cannot demand salary from your spouse. It cannot be maintained in court that you have a legal right to claim the salary, even though you are a family. It is recommended that you find a job that will support you, that will allow you to be financially independent.
