Even after divorce if a woman proves that she is unable to maintain herself and she has no one else to take care of her and maintain her basic minimum needs, she can file a maintenance case under section 125 Cr.P.C. However, the divorced husband would be liable to maintain her only as long as she doesn't remarry or is in a position whereby she can maintain herself.
