My girlfriend and I got married in an Arya Samaj ceremony in 2013, but things haven’t worked out. We’re facing serious issues, and I’m considering divorce. She earns significantly more than me, so would I be obligated to pay alimony? I don’t own any property or assets, but my father does. However, my parents haven’t accepted our marriage and still haven’t acknowledged me as their son. Could my father’s assets be considered for alimony in a divorce? He has worked hard for everything he has, and it’s not inherited wealth. Any advice on this complex situation would be greatly appreciated.

In India, alimony is determined based on the spouse’s needs and the ability of the other spouse to pay. Your father’s assets are generally not considered in alimony calculations unless you can prove they are jointly owned or were acquired through your efforts. Your parents’ acceptance of your marriage and your status as their son are not relevant to alimony. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer to discuss your specific circumstances and legal options.
