1. Husband does not have any right under the law to seek "maintenance" from his wife.
2. You may explore in consultation with your husband the possibility of filing a joint case for divorce. If he does not agree then you may unilaterally file for divorce.
Dear Querist
if husband is not working and unable to maintain himself and the wife is working and any legal case is pending under Hindu marriage act then husband can claim maintenance from his wife under section 24 of HMA
if you think to file divorce against your husband then it will be better to file MCD with his consent.
draft a MOU and file the samewith MCD petition.

there is a possibility that your husband can seek maintenance from you. however if you r successful in the event of producing necessary documents showing that he has sufficient source of income then you will succeed
Hi, under certain circumstance husband can seek maintenance from his wife, provided husband is unable to maintain himself but it does not mean that he is simply sitting in the home he is entitled for maintenance, but he has to prove the circumstances under which he can claim.

I have already stated that your husband is not entitled to seek any maintenance from you.
If husband does not agree to give divorce then how much time will the case take to come at end?
Asked 10 years ago
your husband can claim maintenance only if he is not earning..contesting a divorce is a time consuming game.try divorce mutually
MCD is better option but if he is not agree then file a contest divorce and file an application under section 21 B of Hindu marriage act for speedy trial, in this section the procedure can be completed within six month.

if you file for contested divorce it may take years for it to be disposed of . it all depends upon pendency of court cases in family court in your city .
If he does not agree to give divorce then you shall have to apply unilaterally for divorce which may take a year to two to be decided.
