She opposed it and asked and he never replied. Also after that what he said to his family they started making issues on trivial things . He left my sister at out home in october 15 and never took her back. Since my father is very orthodox and he is saying that girl has to be down to boys and should compromise on some terms . her husband is earns around 25k a month and is has some land in UP.

Hello,
For the query you posted, I would advise the following;
First of all, the matter is to know which religion is followed by the husband and wife, which will decide whether the marriage will be governed by Hindu matrimonial laws or Muslim personal law.
Thereafter few details shall be needed to proceed further and a divorce petition can be filed before the court.
For the matter concerning maintainence or for that matter alimony, there are a lot of judgements which are in favour of giving maintanence to the wife after separation. The divorce shall take its time but in the meantime a maintanence will be fixed by the court to be given to the woman.

Matrimonial matters contain intricate issues and focus on detailing, with the limited facts you have provided, I believe, this answers your query.

You will have to file the petition before the Honb'le Court as per the jurisdiction under section 13 (1) Hindu Marriage Act and for maintenance under section 125 Crpc. Husband is bound to give maintenance to separated wife, says Supreme Court.
