1. If the petition filed under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C , only the question of maintenance will be proved. The question of dowry harassment cannot be proved under this section.

Even though she is graduate, she is entitled for maintenance. The quantum of maintenance amount can be reduced. You can say that she is working she is capable to maintain herself. Therefore is number of judgment in support of you.

Yes you can show EMI and PF reduce

Yes you can ask to combine both case. If the both the cases in the same court then it is easy. Other wise you need to move application to club the matter and thereafter you can seek for reference to mediation.
