What does your frined and his wife plan to do, i.e., to stay away, divorce or any other course of future action?
He will have to pay maintenance for both wife, if she do not have any income & child.
Incomplete and vague query.

If his wife is unemployed ro earn not much then she can apply for maintenance u/s PWDV Act or u/s 125 crpc.
If she stays separate that would improve her case more.

Whether they are living together or living separately? If living separately and your friend is still interested in relationship, he can file Restitution of Conjugal rights petition. If he is not interested, as the girl is also not keen on maintaining the relation, they can go for divorce by mutual consent. As regards paying maintenance, if the wife is not having sufficient income, the husband is liable to pay the maintenance and in any case to the minor daughter.
Find out the reasons for such situation and if possible strike a reconciliation for keeping the bond instead of going for severance.

Marriage does not obstruct the Social service. Both can go side by side and mostly it gives better results.
however. if they do not want to live togather Mutual consent divorce is alternate. Maintenance has to be paid.

Your friend's wife's world is expanding and your friend's world is shrinking. Ask him to join hands with his wife in social work and share the pain and pleasures in social work.

Out of all valuable suggestions by learned experts, I find Adv Chandrasekar's opinion conveying some fruitful solution to the author's query. Well if she voluntarily abandons the company of her husband she stands losing her chance to claim maintenance and she being a law graduate she knows the law better, the author's friend may challenge her case against him on the same grounds of refusal to cohabitate.
