Concept of alimony and maintenance in Indian Court for separated/divorce spouse.
According to Hindu marriage act, there isn't anything as property 'sharing' because of marriage...women actually can't claim 'huge' alimony according to Hindu Marriage act. The wife is only entitled to the maintenance the hubby agrees to pay or the court decides. The amount is equivalent to the wife current state of living and as she lived when living with the man...she isn't entitled to half of the property automatically as is in the west...so Archana's alimony isn't 'huge' in any sense since Manav never lived in luxury nor did she lived in any kind of luxury..
Actually, woman in India does have very limited right over hubby's property...and if he/she is 'able bodied' than the definition further changes...
