PUnder Indian marriage laws, does a Hindu husband have a legal duty to financially provide for his wife? If he refuses to do so and insists that she must work despite her health condition, what legal options does she have?
Before all the men attack me, please note my friend is suffering from a health condition and her husband is not financially providing. Her parents are providing instead. I want to know the rights of women in marriage.

UReverse is the case with me. My Wife’s parents always emotionally manipulate her into providing them most of the money she earns. She is unable to save anything becoz they always demand money and if she denies to give them, they start dominating and traumatizing her by giving all kinds of bad words. She is really upset with all this but feels that she should hold on to relations with her parents.
-
UShe can cut ties with them if the situation is really bad but you should be aware that parents are entitled to get maintenance from their children as per law, if they are unable to maintain themselves.

UThey (wife’s parents) have two houses and some more property in their name which they don’t want to sell out. They have taken loans from several of their relatives and broken ties with them when it’s time to repay. Now the relatives are approaching us for these issues! It is not that they do not have money, but the fact is that their intentions are always such that to loot out money from anyone they meet. They made huge demands to me also after marriage to invest in their business. But later I realized they have not business but only to scam other people and loot money from them. Even I’m looking for ways to legally stop all this! It’s affecting my wife a lot. She is having a lot of stress and tension due to this unwanted and intolerable behavior of her parents.

UYou and your friend seem to be only interested in money. Gathering information about the law to threaten the husband into giving into your friend’s demands for money. Specify what health reason also? Something serious? People with one hand and one leg also work so what’s stopping your friend? Laziness for sure
-
-
U>People with one hand and one leg also work
Men with both hands & both legs don’t even do their own personal chores. Expect women to take care of them & their family as if they are kids who can’t do anything on their own. Want women to stay at home to make women financial dependent on men. Want to be earners/breadwinners/providers. But when it’s about actually providing when their wife is in _need_ of financial, mental & emotional support then you’all cry. Hypocrisy for sure.

Uwhen did wedding happen? Did you friend hide her health condition? Seems you are posting one sided abla naari sob story.
-
PAnd you are among those types of men who would want to trade the wives even after her death for money. I understand.
Good luck
-
UWhatever moral superiority you wanna post keep doing, just don’t present both side full story. It can hurt you abla naari worldview.
-
UUfff see the language when she got called out. She’s interested in money and so is the friend. Can’t specify the illness but has a mouth full of shit to share. The truth is the friend doesn’t want to divorce, must be wanting to sit on her arse the whole day and watch the phone. Seems like a one sided story and this over smart friend thinks they can get the husband to give her cash by using some references from the law. Cheap tactics from lazy but smart women.
-
PAs if your language doesnt reflect the person you are.
You are not the court to decide the truth. I will do everything in my capacity to make her understand her rights.
I am not answerable to a person who abuses any random stranger just because you think a woman is always wrong. One woman was wrong. The woman who chose to birth you.
Shame!

UUnder Section 24 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (herein after mentioned as HM Act), either the wife or husband can apply for interim maintenance. The basis of the claim for interim maintenance is that the claimant has no independent income of his/her own to support himself/herself.
*GROUNDS FOR AWARD OF MAINTENANCE:*
Only upon proving that at least one of the grounds mentioned under the Act, exists in the favour of the wife, maintenance is granted.These grounds are as follows:-
a. The husband has deserted her or has willfully neglected her;
b. The husband has treated her with cruelty;
c. The husband is suffering from virulent form of leprosy/venereal
diseases or any other infectious disease;
d. The husband has any other wife living;
e. The husband keeps the concubine in the same house as the wife resides
or he habitually resides with the concubine elsewhere;
f. The husband has ceased to a Hindu by conversion to any other religion;
g. Any other cause justifying her separate living.-
UQuite informative , Thanks but it doesn’t matter since practically a woman can claim maintenance just for being a woman.
-
PWith such a man as her husband, she deserves to claim maintenance for being a woman and wasting her life wirh him.

UOfcourse not, laws were made tilted towards women as they were vulnerable in earlier times.
But sad part is the laws didn’t evolve with time
-
UMost women are vulnerable even today. Laws are made to protect the majority and misused by a minority(usually rich or powerful).

HYes – as per Hindu law it’s husband duty to provide for wife with only exceptions like wife living separate out of own will, adultery etc.
Reach out to a lawyer, get him a simple notice and only this much will be enough for getting his pants wet. -

PAssuming that your friend only needs financial support not divorce from her husband, she can file for Maintenance under BNSS 144 (Earlier CrPC 125). This provision states that if a husband fails maintain his wife despite having means, wife can seek financial support from him.
