This query is : Resolved
Me and my wife are Hindu senior citizens sustaining on our pension and interest on our Bank FDs. We have a son and a daughter who are already married. After the marriage of my son, under the influence of his in laws and with their financial support my son started staying separately with his wife. While staying separately, he had food toxicity and as a result suffered from paralysis of both the legs and lost his job. His wife was working then and she continued with her job till her delivery. When it became difficult for them to manage the home and home expenses they came back after 8 months and started staying with us. My son, being paralytic, gets irregular income i.e. when it becomes difficult for him to work due to paralysis he leaves the job. We were managing the home expenses on our moderate income of pension and interest. Currently my son is jobless. Recently my daughter in law has deserted my son and is currently staying with her parents who are well off. She is postgraduate in qualifications, having good earning potential and must be currently working there as she had carried all her educational certificates to find a job there. She wants divorce from my son and is demanding alimony and child maintenance from my son or from his parents i.e. us. I have following queries.
1)If my son is disabled and jobless, how can he give alimony and child maintenance?
2)Can my son get alimony from his wife as she must be working there and as he is disabled and jobless?
3)As daughters have equal rights as sons in parents property, my daughter in law will inherit large property from her parents. Otherwise also, she is working there and her parents can look after her and her son properly. Then how can she demand alimony and child maintenance from her in laws i.e. us?

he can ask his wife to maintain him if she is well qualified and earning well . the fact that he is paralysed will weigh in mind of court .
