Reading: My husband and I got married in 2002. He’s always taken care of our child’s education and daily expenses, especially since they were young, because he had a low income. However, he’s been earning around â‚¹40,000 per month since 2014. What are my legal options to seek maintenance now? Can I also claim a share from his property and income from his agricultural land, including earnings from 2002?

You can file for maintenance under Section 125 of the CrPC, as your husband has been earning a sufficient income since 2014. Regarding property claims, you may have rights to a share in his property acquired during the marriage, including agricultural land, under the Hindu Marriage Act or the relevant personal law. You should consult a lawyer to assess your specific legal options and rights.
