1. Employment before marriage is of no consideration.

2.So if you could not prove her present employment you can not avoid maintenance.

3.The amount of maintenance varies from 1/3-1/5th of your income.

1. She is entitled to maintenance since she is not employed.

2. You shall have to submit before the Court that she has already availed alimony from her earlier husband and has adequate FDs to earn interest for her maintenance.

1)kindly clarify what you mean by saying that wife has not finished case with her previous husband

2) you mean to say no divorce decree has been passed?

3) if so your second marriage is null and void

1. You should now file a petition for annulment of your marriage which was illegally solemnised by her suppressing the fact that she was already a married lady during her said 2nd marriage.

2. You shall have to file the said annulment petition within one year of coming to know that she was not divorced at the time of her marriage with you.
