Muslim marriage is a kind of civil contract. You may add other conditions but alimony or maintenance condition shall be voidable. We are in India and the laws are women centric and even the new laws BNS(New IPC) is also women centric. This condition in prenups may stand invalid because maintenance is related to survival and survival is connected to fundamental right. You many write other conditions in the prenup agreement
