Yes definitely your wife can avail the maternity benefit. The maternity leave is guided under the The Maternity Benefit Act. No employer can reject the maternity leave of an employee. Ask your wife to speak with the personnel manager and apply for the leave. Please ensure you have a proper Doctor certificate or documents.
