Regarding Maintenance after divorce and iddat period
13-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My cousin sister (Muslim) got divorced after 12 years of marriage and living within a worst condition and her iddat is about to be finished on 5 June, got one time settlement amount ( Dowry Money which was given) i.e. 5 Lakh rupees after mutual extra judicial divorce on stamp paper.Can she claim maintenance under CRPC 125 after iddat period.She has a daughter of 11 year old, and his ex husband is not giving maintenance to his daughter, who is living with her and her daughter doesn't intend to go to his father's home because of ill treatment in the past.Tell me what to do next. I'll be thankful to you.
Mehar is an amount which should given after the merriage and at the time of the merriage so there are so many cases when court decide that mehar is not a maintenance amount it is a liability of the husband.
In your case your sister can file a maintenance and child maintenance suite in the family court.
for more details i will contact you
