My wife and I have been apart for almost two years. I moved to a different city for work about that time. Soon after, she changed her contact details and stopped talking to me. When my parents asked her why, she said she didn’t want to stay married because my financial situation worsened. I’m looking to end the marriage. How much alimony might I have to pay her?

Under Indian law, alimony is decided based on several factors, including the duration of the marriage, the wife’s earning capacity, and your financial situation. Since your wife’s reason for separation is linked to your financial situation, the court may consider this and potentially reduce or even waive alimony. You should consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
