Hi Experts,
Is there any difference between maintenance and alimony? Or they are one and same thing.
Since counsellor in women cell told me that your wife can't claim maintenance as she is working, but she can claim Alimony.

No they are the same thing. Maintenance is used n 12 crpc proceeding whereas the word alimony is used in matrimonial proceeding u/s 24 of HMA.
