Indian Law on Alimony After Remarriage

Can your ex-husband stop paying alimony if you remarry?

Indian law generally dictates that a wife's remarriage terminates her ex-husband's maintenance obligation. This principle applies across various laws, including the new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Hindu Marriage Act. However, a formal court order is necessary to cease payments, and child maintenance remains unaffected.
