What are my marital women rights


11-Mar-2023 (In Family Law)
Hi, I have been married for 2 yrs. I have a child. My husband is living in abroad. He never gave me any financial support while living there. Also he is not giving any expense for child as well. What I can do in this case? Can I ask him for last 2 yrs expense when I am working but my salary is very less in comparison to his salary? How can I legally ask him to come back?

if you know the proper working address of your husband, you can send legal notice asking him for maintenance and for reunion. if he is not responding to the notice you can file maintenance petition and restitution of conjugal rights petition before family court. call for the discussion

Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is an economic umbrella that makes provisions for maintenance to be provided to divorced wives to help them to maintain and support themselves both during and at the conclusion of Divorce Proceedings. The essential object of the provision of law is to help improve the economic condition and alleviate the status of divorced and neglected wives who are unable to support themselves. Section 125 is a secular provision governing maintenance laws across all personal laws. No conflict may arise between the provisions in any personal laws and the CrPC since the provision works parallel to all personal laws. The Supreme Court has held that the maintenance rights of a wife cannot be limited by personal laws. Maintenance provision under Section 125 is not treated as a means to punish the husband but as a means to ensure support for the estranged woman who is unable to support herself.

You can not claim maintenance since you are working but you can ask maintenance for your child . File a maintenance petition on behalf of your child .The child has the right to claim the maintenance from his father.
