My wife and I are going through a divorce in India. We’re at the mediation stage, and she’s asked me to pay for her airfare from Chennai to Delhi for the meeting. She comes from a wealthy business family and is financially independent. I’m a salaried employee and can’t afford to cover her travel expenses. Is it reasonable for her to expect me to pay for her airfare? Should I be responsible for this cost?

Indian law does not mandate that one spouse pay for the other’s travel expenses during divorce proceedings. As your wife is financially independent, it is not reasonable for her to expect you to pay for her airfare. You are not legally obligated to cover this cost.
