• Husband is not giving details of his work and address

Hi,
My sister is married to a person. Everything was okay until we gave them whatever they asked. Now we stopped paying them they showed their real colour.
They dropped my sister to our place and always saying we will come tomorrow and tomorrow. 
Now her husband is also saying same. He changed his company and city this year. Whenever we ask about his company and his current residenal address he doesn’t provide. What we have his phone number and his family also hides his details. 
Under which law and section we can ask them to provide his work and residential addresses. 
I believe our sister is his wife till today then there should be some fundamental right of wife to know details of husband.
Pls advise.

Your sister can file petition claiming maintenance from husband under section 125 of the CrPC or under the provisions of protection of women from domestic violence act, wherein her husband would have to disclose the entire income statement as well as current salary slips and your sister would be awarded amount of maintenance which would be payable to her monthly based on such factors.

Hello,

The mode to obtain the same would be to file a maintenance petition under section 125 of the Cr.P.C., wherein he will have to disclose the same be means of an income affidavit in light of the judgment of the HC.

There is no such provision where wife can force the husband to disclose his income details.

But, residential details can be obtained from him legally as he is legally bound to maintain his wife and provide residence to her.

If you are trying to take the marriage work you can file a petition for restitution of conjugal rights under S. 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act.

No there is no law per se under which the husband is obliged to disclose his details.

Though you may send a legal notice and ask him to provide the details, but he is not under any obligation to do so under any law.

This is my response to you:

1. If you do not know his address then how can you send legal notice;

2. You must first complain to the police to find his whereabouts;

3. The police will do their investigation and provide you the same since his wife has the right to know;

4. Your sister can also file a RCR against the husband at his last known address or new address;

5. Then he has to approach the court and give a reply;

6. Consult a local lawyer and take legal steps.

1. You cannot make him liable to provide his details. A woman has no fundamental right to know the employment and residential details of her husband.

2. You are free to send legal notice to him but for this you require his address. Even the court summons cannot be served on him if you do not know the present residential address of the man.
