monthly expenses after marriage

I am married since 4 years, my husband is earning very well, but he is not giving any monthly money to me, he argues that he is coming with me all the time so why do I need money, and whatever I ask for he will argue and won't allow me to take anything. his parents also are in his favour. May I please know that by law do I have the right to ask for monthly expenses? if yes than what is the approx ratio, and still if he does not give than are there any legal options open for me? cz I tried to convince him in nice way and also with an argument bt he ends up by not giving me any money in a month...

Monetary transaction between a wedded couple is mutual there is no specific rule of law prescribed for it, wife can legally ask for maintenance when she opts for a decree of divorce. You should convince your husband to give you some monthly allowance however if he does not agree and if you are in dire need of money the only option is to seek divorce and monthly maintenance, the choice is entirely yours.
