What can I do if husband refuses to provide maintenance?

I am a Hindu girl married to a Muslim guy. Our marriage has lasted at least 7 years, and we have one child. My husband wants a divorce, but I don’t. He has filed for divorce. They are not providing basic things like food and child education fees. What should be my next step? Please suggest.

In this case, you have the right to seek maintenance for yourself and your child under Section 144 of BNSS. If your husband has filed for divorce, you can contest it in court, especially if he is neglecting responsibilities. You may file for maintenance under the Domestic Violence Act, if applicable.
