My husband left me after just one year of marriage, claiming I’m not mentally well. We’ve filed a police report. He earns around ₹20,000 and mentioned in some emails that his family has cut him off. I’m a B.A. graduate and haven’t been working, we don’t have any children. I’m Hindu. What kind of alimony can I expect?

Based on your situation and Indian law, you can seek maintenance from your husband. You can file for alimony under Section 125 of the CrPC. The court considers the husband’s income, his family’s financial status, and your circumstances while determining the amount of alimony. You are likely eligible for a monthly allowance, and since you are a graduate, you may be expected to seek employment.
