Overview

What is Alimony and Maintenance?

Alimony and maintenance are financial provisions awarded by the court to a spouse after separation or divorce. These payments are designed to ensure that one party is not left in a financially vulnerable state due to the dissolution of marriage.

In India, maintenance laws are governed by several statutes including:

  • Section Section 106 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) (applicable to all)
  • Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
  • Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956
  • Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937
  • Special Marriage Act, 1954
  • Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005

Types of Maintenance

  • Interim Maintenance: Temporary support during the ongoing court proceedings.
  • Permanent Maintenance: Final amount or periodic payments ordered post-divorce.
  • Child Maintenance: Financial support for upbringing, education, and well-being of children.
