What Happens to Maintenance Obligation if a Wife Remarries in India?

In India, a wife's remarriage generally ends her right to maintenance from her former husband. This principle applies across various laws, including the secular Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and personal laws like the Hindu Marriage Act. However, the husband must obtain a court order to cancel maintenance; it does not stop automatically. Child maintenance obligations remain unaffected by the wife's remarriage.
