Despite being the second wife, she can claim maintenance (money) from your husband. You mentioned that she is receiving Rs. 7000 as pension. If she feels this is insufficient and can prove this in Court, she can file a case against your husband for maintenance under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
