Answer:
Alimony is monetary support that an individual is ordered by law to pay to their spouse. Under Indian Law, alimony helps a spouse who doesn't have the capacity to earn a lucrative income or no independent income at all to maintain the standard of living they were accustomed to before the divorce decree. Alimony can either be temporary(alimony during the pendency of the proceeding) or Permanent(alimony after divorce).
The grant of maintenance and the amount and duration will be determined by the Court on the basis of :
Both parties incomes, assets and earning potential.
Lifestyle enjoyed by the parties.
Financial needs and Requirements of the party asking for Alimony
Age and Health of parties.
Duration of the marriage.
Contributions made by the parties towards household and raising the children.
