No husband has no right on your income and you can contribute same on your wish he or nobody else can force you for same . You can deny your husband for same and in condition husband is earning more then you then you can seek maintenance from him to if your salary is not enough.
It is utter nonsense
you are working and don’t need husband consent to spend your income
if both are working both have to shoulder responsibility for running household in proportion to their incomes
you can send money to your parents
Not at all. You have full right to your self earned money. You can spend as per your wish. But being capable of maintaing yourself from regular source you can not legally make your husband bound to meet out your daily household expenses.
Before we get into any kind of discussions, ask him to give the same in writing, then only you will believe his rightts on your money, ask him to email you from his email.
This is totally illegal he doesn't have any right in your self earned property at all. He will never get divorce on the said ground by any court
This all bullshit, Even the gifts,jewels (Stridhan) given by your in laws are your absolute property. None have any say/claim in them. Can refuse him straight away.
Let him approach court, will get humiliated only.
you can send your earning money to any one without consent of your husband. both husband wife Responsibility to maintain expenses of household items.
Your husband cannot claim your earnings or income from you as a right.
You can refuse him stating that it is nothing but another form of dowry demand
However if you want to run the married life smoothly and peacefully you may have to make little adjustments to the maximum extent that is possible and tolerable.
If the situation is not conducive then you may give a warning to your husband and yor in laws to restrain from making any such claim because it is illegal and punishable under law to force you to pay your earnings to them.
He cannot take you to court for not giving money to him ,, in fact you can give a police complaint stating that he is demanding money every often which is nothing but dowry demand under section 498a and 3 and 4 of dP act.
Dear
The money you are earning belongs only to you and you have the right to use your money as you want.
No one can interfere with your expenses not even your husband if you want to give your money to your parents then he can't stop you from sending money to them.
You have to be strong and tell him that dont interfere in my life it your money and he don't have any right to stop you.
If he still stop you be bold and take legal actions against him by lodging an FIR and filing domestic violence complaint.
As I'm earning 30k per month, my husbuns says that you are earning much enough for our household expanses and ur personal expanses As per law I'm not responsible to give you single penny for our home routine expanses not even half expanse also(he is earning 40k per month).... Just b'coz I'm earning he can refuse to give money for our house hold expanses?? Is it true by law??
NO, absolutely wrong, It is husband only who is responsible for household, wife can save her income.
When both are earning both have to shoulder responsibility for household maintenance
No he cannot deny same and also you are earning then also can seek some maintenance from him if your failing to maintain yourself.
His ground is absurd. He doesn't have any right and no such law is there
I don't understand why your husband is refusing
to give money for household expenses. It is his
primary duty.
