In Indian divorce law, a working woman may have to pay maintenance or alimony to her husband if he is financially dependent on her and unable to maintain himself.
Here's how it works:
Gender-Neutral Provisions: Under laws like the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Sections 24 and 25) and the secular Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), either spouse can claim maintenance from the other if they are unable to support themselves.
Financial Dependence is Key: The primary factor courts consider is the financial status of both spouses. Alimony is intended to prevent the dependent spouse from falling into destitution and to help them maintain a reasonable standard of living similar to what they had during the marriage

Dear Sir,
Under Indian law, a husband can claim maintenance from his wife only in exceptional situations. If the husband is genuinely unable to earn, is physically or mentally incapable of maintaining himself, and the wife has a stable income, the court may order her to pay maintenance.
However, the mere fact that the wife is a government employee does NOT automatically mean she must pay maintenance.
