If the spouses are Indian citizens married under Indian Law, then the wife can ask for maintenance. As per Indian maintenance laws the wife is entitled to the same standard of living as her husband and also as she was enjoying when she was living with him. It should be shown that there is a huge difference between the income and living standard of the husband to that of his wife. If the difference is not major in terms of income and living standard, then it will be tough for her in terms of claiming maintenance.

My Wife is not ready to give divorce to me. Now what is my legal obligation if i leave my rented home and fly out of india without informing anyone(Not even to my parents) Am i legally bound by anything? Can i be subject to any legal criminal proceedings? And by any chance if my wife commit suicide after i leave home, can i be legally liable? I am not willing to harm her but would like to just disappear and never come back to home. And what happens if I do not leave country but leave the state and go at some unknown place in india? Which is more safe? Leaving state or leaving india? I do not want to follow painful divorce proceedings and I am also not willing to give any alimony/maintenance. We do not have any child. As such i do not have any property/car/jewelry. I have everything in cash/bank balance. So I am free from any assets/investment. I will be grateful if you can give detailed reply.

My sister married in 2017 and left for US with her husband in a month. After almost 2+ years she is now considering separation because of various reasons 1. My brother in law promised they would return to India in 2-3 years after marriage but now he wants to settle there but my sister doesn’t 2. Even on a personal level, he is insensitive (doesn’t care about her feelings anymore), interfering (doesn’t allow her to take decisions, meddles on what to buy and what not), doesn’t want to go out for dinner or celebrating anniversaries etc. giving reasons that it's too expensive and its comfortable at home. 3. My parents and I have also had these discussions with him and his family on a couple of occasions and unfortunately, still nothing has changed. Infact, things have worsened because parents are involved now. What are the options my sister has (they don’t have a kid) 1. Should she come back to India alone and then file for separation? Or would that make our case weaker? 2. Is there a possibility that we send a notice first (not divorce) so that he can mend his ways? Has this approach worked in past with couples? 3. What should she do?
