In India it\u2019s mostly the females who claim for maintenance and alimony in Hindus, though it differs from religion to religion. The Hindu marriage act states that both husband and wife are eligible for it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">But, in India it\u2019s mostly the women who get the alimony benefits. These days, many women work as well and aren\u2019t aware if they are also entitled for any alimony. Here\u2019s a sneak peek into how much alimony are women entitled against a divorce, working and non-working both. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As per the law the women is entitled to get a monthly alimony of 25% of husband\u2019s gross income if it\u2019s on a monthly basis. The amount may increase decrease as per the salary. In case of lump-sum settlement the range is between 1\/3<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\">rd<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\">to 1\/5<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> of net worth of the husband and is to be done all at once. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">If the couple have a child than the maintenance of the child needs to be paid for separately. The child needs to be paid in a way that he\/ she can live at the same standards of the father. Similarly, even the wife is entitled to be able to live at the same standards as per her matrimonial home. If the wife is also working though, she also has to share the child support. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">On the other hand, only if the husband is disabled, he is entitled for alimony, else not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The court also mentioned during the hearing of one alimony case, that even if the woman is educated and earning, she is still liable to get alimony if there is a substantial difference between her and her husband\u2019s net worth, so that she can live her life at peace and same standards she used to enjoy in the matrimonial home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">However, if the woman remarries, the husband is not required to pay any alimony to the wife but he has to continue to pay for the child\u2019s maintenance. Furthermore, if the alimony is interim or monthly basis and the husband fails to provide the same. The appellant can move to the court for a petition to attach the husband\u2019s salary. The maintenance they would be deducted from husbands salary automatically every month. Also, any kind of jewelry, gifts, property or valuables including gadgets, appliances and even cash that is given to the women before, at and during the course of marriage are included as a part of streedhan. This also includes all her earnings, investments and savings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Having said that, divorce is a very difficult and emotionally draining procedure but being aware of the rights make help making life a lot more-easier in terms of financials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Just know about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.klelawcollege.org\">KLE Law College in Bangalore<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">*Sourced from the Internet<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many celebrity divorces are coming to the fore ever now and then and like the west India is coming to terms with the big word divorce.
