Hello,
Yes,
Alimony is a matter of right.
You being a wife is entitled to alimony despite both the spouses being government employees.
For more details please get connected with me through OLQ.
Dear Madam,
Yes — even if both husband and wife are government employees, alimony (maintenance) can still be granted after divorce under Indian law.
But it is not automatic. Courts look at income, need, and circumstances.
Dear Sir, as per your query,
1. Employment of both spouses, even as government employees, does not bar alimony under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act or Section 144 of the Baratiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita
2. Courts grant alimony only if there is financial disparity or dependency after comparing income, liabilities, and standard of living.
3. If both spouses earn similar salaries and are self-sufficient, alimony is usually refused
