yes she can claim maintainance and she may get it also. she may also prosecute you for cruelty, dowry ansd also can file complaint uder Domestic Voilance Act. it is sad but advisable that it is always better to resolve the matter amicably as the laws are in favour of women, to avoid this harrasment better settle it out of court by involving some elders, responsible or respected person.
