My son got married in July 2014 at Petal Banquet Hall in Naraina, Delhi. We were aware that his wife was struggling with depression before the marriage. Unfortunately, the marriage was never consummated. Due to these circumstances, we filed for annulment in September 2014, citing relevant provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. However, she has now resigned from her job and is seeking interim maintenance and legal expenses. She has a one-third share in a house worth 70 lakhs, 25 lakhs in her PPF account, and recently deposited 50,000 in her PPF after the case began.

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, a wife is entitled to interim maintenance and legal expenses during the pendency of the annulment proceedings. The court will consider her financial resources, including her one-third share in the house, PPF account, and recent deposit, to determine the appropriate amount of maintenance.
