Yes, if the husband is withdrawing the divorce petition, the wife may seek compensation depending on the circumstances. She can claim maintenance (under Section 125 CrPC), litigation expenses, and even permanent alimony or one-time settlement under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, if applicable. The court will consider factors like the wife's financial dependency, standard of living, duration of marriage, and conduct of parties. The wife may also claim compensation if there has been mental or physical cruelty or economic hardship caused during the proceedings.

Yes, the wife can claim compensation even if the husband withdraws the divorce case. She may seek maintenance under Section 125 CrPC, interim or permanent alimony under Hindu Marriage Act, and even compensation under the Domestic Violence Act if there has been cruelty or abuse. Withdrawal of the case does not affect her right to claim financial support or compensation, especially if she is not self-sufficient or has suffered during the marriage. The court evaluates factors like income, standard of living, and conduct before granting relief.
