The Legal Reality! 🚨
NO! If a court has ordered alimony or maintenance, the husband MUST pay it. 🛑 Non-payment can lead to legal consequences, including attachment of property, wage garnishment, or even imprisonment. 🚔 Alimony in India is governed by:
✅ Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (For Hindus)
✅ Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 (For Muslims)
✅ Divorce Act, 1869 (For Christians)
✅ Section 125 CrPC (For all religions)
