First answer received in 10 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) your wife can file application for maintenance under section 125 Cr Pc and need not seek divorce
2)your brother in law wont commit suicide . he is basically trying to pressurise sister not to seek maintenance from court
3) your sister is not responsible for her husband debts
4) no need to issue legal notice for maintenance
)If we ask for maintanance do we need to proceed for divorce?
Divorce petition is not necessary for seeking maintenance.
2)How to protect my sister from my brother-inlaws move /saying suicide attemt he will do etc etc
Nobody can stop anyone from committing suicide, so leave it to him, let him do anything because that is beyond your control.
3)We have planned now to give a legal notice to maintenance
Yes you can very well issue notice seeking maintenance.
4)If he goes out do we need to answer query for bankers? officically my sister not signed to any loan from the landlords who paid money to my brother inlaw
He will be responsible for all his personal loans, his heirs are not responsible even if he dies suddenly
1. You can file for maintenance without filing for divorce. Maintenance and Divorce are two distinct legal claims which can exist and travel separately.
2. Your sister should send an advance intimation to the police regarding the suicide threats held out by her husband. This will help her to evade liability in the event he commits suicide.
3. Your sister is not liable for any of the contractual obligations burdened by her husband.
4. Your sister has no share in the self acquired or gifted properties of her husband. She can file for maintenance without filing a police complaint.
File for maintenance u/s. 125 of Cr. Pc in the family court no need to send a legal notice for it.
He is just blackmailing your sister that he will commit suicide etc etc so that your sister will not take any step against him.
But is he working? Or he has any assets like jewellery or anything else which he has not sold as yet. You will have to prove in the court that he has sufficient means to maintain her and the children.

Hi sir/madam, your sister has directly to file maintenance case against him, he was unnecessary blackmailing by taking your innocence. It is the duty of husband to look the welfare of his wife and children. I think divorce is not necessary in this stage for welfare of children of your sister.You don't worry about his debts.
