Wife not Contributing In Household Expanses - (Religion Hindu both )


06-Oct-2023 (In Family Law)
Sir , i am married for 2 Years, i live with my wife and parents , My wife is working and Her salary is 70000 Per month , unfortunately i am not working since i was doing business and it flopped , My wife has never supported me financially , my monthly investment is around 13000 to my sip which my brother pays me , but she never ever offered me any help nor given me any money (apart for 2-3 times total 6000), all the household expanse is done by my parents and brother . she always ask me to get the stuff from market and never gives money she is saving all her money and she becomes offensive if money matters come As per her it is husband and husband family duty to do all household expanse ? is it my legal right to maintain her , even if she is working and earning such handsome amount ? does Indian law forces me to spend always ? is it written in law that husband has to maintain his wife - even if she is earning ? even if i earn ,is it my duty to spend or give her money ?

no law is well balanced, if your wife is earning that much amount and you are unemployed you can claim maintenance from her under section 24 of Hindu marriage act, it specifically says either spouse who is unable to maintain himself or herself can claim maintenance from the other spouse. you can contact me for more detailed discussion.
