A.Dear Sir
Whether you employed or not at least minimum of rupees 5000 may be asked to pay to your wife as maintenance. If she did not appeared then you will get ex-parte divorce decree.
Please give me RANK FIVE {5} if my answer satisfies you.

A.Whoever wants to make any claims against the other party needs to be present in court themselves or through their advocate, or other modes given the pandemic situation.

A.Yes , she can claim even you are job less because you are healthy and liable to maintain her .
But a lady when she is unable to maintain herself, then only she can claim maintenance from husband .
You can highlight her properties, educational qualifications and past job history or present able to do job .
