Yes

Any complainant or defendant can pray for litigation expenses. The maintenance relief given to the wife is also not necessary.
A husband can also claim maintenance or monetary benefits.
Depending on the grounds filed by the husband, he can also put charges on the wife and get a success and favourable judgment
