Does the wife entitle to maintenance?

If you are educated and medically fit, then you wont get maintenance, but however you will get some, if you apply for IA or under 125 crpc or you can file DV and also ask under it for maintenance.  As court is linient towards woman, you will surely get some amount as maintenance, but court cannot do anything more than issuing arrest warrant in your husband name if he fails to comply with order of maintenance.  However, you can also ask husband by writing to him asking for pocket money, love does a lot of things. Ask him nicely and he may as well give you money.
