We’ve been married for 10 years, have a 6-year-old son, and my wife left six months ago after a big fight, taking all her belongings. Despite repeated requests, she refuses to return. I’m managing work, household chores, and our son while depositing money in her account for her expenses. Now, she’s demanding Rs. 40,000 monthly for maintenance, accusing me of domestic violence and false dowry demands. She’s a graduate and used to teach, but now claims she’s entitled to maintenance and won’t work. What should I do?

Given the situation, it’s crucial to consult a lawyer. While your wife’s claim for maintenance is valid, the accusations of domestic violence and dowry demands are serious. You must defend yourself legally, as these allegations can significantly impact your case. A lawyer can advise you on your legal options and help you build a strong defense.
