It's good ground to file divorce but you u have to prove it. If you file divorce petition then she may move an application for interim maintenance bit quantum of maintenance would depend upon your income and capabilities of wife to earn.

I have did many cases in which no maintenance has been granted to wife.

for more info you may contact me.

Maintenance is ascertained on different aspect. Things which are kept in mind by the court when maintenance is allowed are:-
1. Earning of husband
2. Earning of wife
3. Status/living standard of both husband and wife
4. Children if any.
So ground of divorce is not material for maintenance until and unless the wife has married somebody else.
