Dear Client , Thanks for your query. If your wife is earning more than you and that too being a government employee, you need not give her maintenance claimed by her, provided you show the proper proof to the court that your wife is capable of maintaining herself.You need to be bold in these situations and think life ahead of you. dying is not the solution for any problem. as human beings we have to face all.
