Clarity on maintenance in delhi courts?

Hi, It is surprising that there is no clarity on how the maintenance is decided yet. Not even if its really awarded to ladies who are well able to maintain themself. In my case, Wife filed domestic violence in Delhi court and date for interim maintenance falls next month. She has submitted affidavit to court stating that she is post graduate and earning a handsome 50K per month. I working with a private services firm and earn around 90K per month.. I have my parents (retired) dependent on me and housing loan for which there is an installment of 35,000 each month. Its a two year old marriage with no kids. She has asked for 25K maintenance per month and 25K for seperate rented accomodation. Can someone please advise based on basis of personal experience if maintenance is awarded to a Wife who is earning well, is a post graduate and able to well maintain herself? Some people say "its not awarded to well educated and earning wifes", some say "its awarded but less in amount". Kindly help with your experiences and judgements.

You can get answers to all ur questions if you read posts on maintenance in this forum.

If what you have stated is correct wrt salary of you and your wife, and further if your wife had admitted in court that her salary is 50k then she will get ZERO maintenance.
