Asha,
Mahomedan Law of Marriage on divorce states: The Mahomedan law recognises divorce as a method of dissolution of marriage. Divorce may be either at the will of the husband(Talak) or by mutual consent(Khula or Mubarat) or at the instance ofthe wife,, if such power is given to her by the husband, or at the instance of either party through intervention of court.
About the wife's rights against her husband after marriage:-
The wife is entitled to be maintained by her husband unless she is too young for cohabitation or she refused to stay with her husband without good cause, for example non-payment of dower, or if the wife is disobedient to her husband's reasonable orders.
The wife is entitled to be maintained by her husband only until his death but in case of a decree for divorce, the husband must maintain the wife upto the expiry period of iddat.
The wife is entitled to residence inthe husband's house.
The wife is also entitled to payment of dower.
A Mahomedan wife may also, without filing a suit, apply for an order of maintenance u/s 125 Cr.P.C. in which case she can claim an amount as her monthly maintenance.
An order of maintenance can be avoided by the husband divorcing his wife, in which case he must pay maintenance only up till the iddat of wife. An agreement between parties for future separation and maintenance is invalid in Mahomedan Law; but an agreement allowing the second wife to live separately from the husband and get maintenance is valid.
Lastly, it is only a Hindu as per the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 cannot marry more than one wife at a time whereas a Muslim can marry as many as four wives at the same time.
