When can a wife not ask for alimony in a divorce case?
There are some situations in relation to asking for alimony in a divorce case, when the wife cannot ask for alimony. At the same time, in some cases it is the legal responsibility of the husband to pay alimony to the wife.
Until a few years ago, there was not much awareness about alimony in divorce cases in India. Especially women, who were often financially dependent on their husbands, did not know that they were entitled to financial assistance after divorce.
But now times are changing. Divorce cases are increasing in India and along with this, awareness about divorce law is also increasing among the people. Now more and more women are asking for alimony after divorce.
Alimony in changing times: Now the responsibility of both
Today's society gives equal status to men and women. That is why the responsibility of paying alimony after divorce can be not only on the husband but also on the wife, if her financial condition is better. Although both men and women are equal before the law, in most cases it is still the husband who has to pay alimony, especially when a divorce case is going on.
After divorce, either the husband or the wife can ask for alimony. This is their right, but it is not necessary that the court always awards alimony. The court decides after looking at the financial condition and other circumstances of both partners.
