Que. 1: Can I demand maintenance from my wife, after leaving my job? As she wants me to live in a separate house, so I want to put financial burden on my wife and in-laws.

Que. 2: As this marriage has happened without any dowry, will getting the marriage registered will help to prove that no dowry has been taken.
My Re. 1/- here: DP Act read with S. 498a IPC are prime facie and one needs to prove once innocence so current say that this marriage is without dowry sustains only in internet forum not on ground realties when FIR is about to be filed on her complaint and registration of marriage further read with Arya Samaj Marriage and also read with Sikh Marriage will only help in initial stage of filing your AB or Bail Application and or reply stage afterwards outside court activities that you may undertake will come handy (period).

My Re. 1/- here: If only verbal issues read with mental torture then you are required to wait till they initiate any Civil and or Criminal activity and post such activity you may embark on RTI to said authorities and several associated others too (such as on dowry related TEP). Before that if you do it then it will instigate them to file (counter blast) cases which prime facie will read as they agrived party and started the case and you have to prove your innocence kind off later !.
Patience read with collecting 'innocent evidences' further read with safeguarding family (parents) interests first then giving in to such court cases is my Re. 1/- here in nutshell to your asked briefs.
Rest ld. members have advised quite correctly.
For Sh. Shashikumar,
Sir, Law is already there for seeking maint. by a husband and last year a vegetable vendor in Delhi produced wife’s tution institute and beauty parlour read with proper IT return filings as evidence before Matrimonial Court and got maint. under HMA the Act so I leave Indian men including me to our will and persistence for seeking maint. under gender neutral HMA the Act.
In my files section I put in my layman’s analysis of gender biasness of S. 125 CrPC which I request your kindself to go over and advise me if my interpretation on S. 125 CrPC is correct or not and if so then when we the Indian men are going to challenge it so that it is written in tomb stone by respected Judges for Indian men in days to come?
Oh BTW if you need to study Chand Dhawan Vs. Jawaharlal Dhawan citation reasoning which I quoted in it heavily then knock me, I will send full text via PM to your most respected self for analyzing further and for my further education here by respected ld. members.
