But she denied of valid Talak and not accepted by her. the lower court declared my Talak as invalid and allowed her appln. and granted maintenance to both.
I went to revision in session court during pendency of revision appeal she got remmarried to another man and suppress this facts, during final argument she file SC judgment maintenace to divorce muslim wife till she remarry. Session court taking this judgement as landmark decision and session court dismissed my revision appeal as she has not yet remarried etc...

However, she accepted my Talak pronounced in year 2005 to her and on that basis she got remarried. Now Family court stopped maintenane till further order on my application of cancellation of warrant in execution proceeding etc..

1. You can file for recovery of maintenance paid after she got married, but not for all amounts. It would be a civil case, and would take many years, with low chances of success.
2. You can not recover this amount.
You should immediately file for cancellation of maintenance of wife.

Already i have file the cancellation of maint. amount and dismissed of execution proceeding of her to revover amount after stayed vacated.
i need to know that i have paid the amount for which she is not entiled as per divorce as there was no such remedy u/s 125 crpc for muslim divorce women, only u/s 3 of muslim women act 1986 having remedy to claim iddat maint. amount.
now she admitting the divorce between me and her happend in year 2005, which is before grant of maint. to her in year 2008.
if such amount was obtain on mis representation as a legally wedded wife of mine and at that relevant time no rememdy for divorce muslim women to claim maint. u/s125 crpc. How can i not claim for recovery as it order was not as per law and incure maint is not as per law.
2. Child name was changed by removing first husband name without permission of court or husband as all matter is in court of law. and getting monthly maint. from me as a father of child.
How can i not file recovery of maint. as it was not as per law.
kindly suggest.

All in all ,i think,you want to ask,if you can recover amount paid by you to her, wrongly??
The answer is subject to law of limitation.If the amount is well within three years from the date of payment suit can lie but in case of those amounts ,though paid wrongly,but are
beyond three years from the date of payment,suit shall be deemed to be barred by limitation Act.
2.In this regard you can file a suit of declaration that you are her father all records be accordingly corrected.
