Can a Hindu wife claim maintenance from her husband even after divorce is granted?

Yes, under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a divorced wife can claim permanent alimony and maintenance even after the divorce decree is passed. The application can be made at the time of passing the decree or subsequently, provided she has not remarried. The court considers the husband's income, the wife's needs, and her earning capacity. If circumstances change, the order can be modified under Section 25(2).
