Generally, no — if your spouse has remarried after separation, her right to claim maintenance from you in Bengaluru typically ceases, since Indian maintenance law is fundamentally premised on the ongoing marital relationship and the paying spouse's continued obligation toward a former partner who has not entered into a new marriage. Once remarriage occurs, courts have consistently held that the maintenance-seeking spouse has established a new marital relationship with corresponding rights and support obligations from the new spouse, extinguishing the claim against the former one.

Under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, permanent alimony and maintenance orders are explicitly subject to variation or rescission if the recipient spouse remarries, and courts in Bengaluru routinely allow the paying spouse to file an application seeking termination of maintenance upon proof of the recipient's remarriage. This principle extends across most personal laws applicable in India, reflecting the consistent judicial view that maintenance is meant to support a former spouse only until they establish a new means of support through remarriage.

If you believe your former spouse has remarried and continues to claim or receive maintenance from you, you can file an application before the Bengaluru family court seeking discontinuation of the maintenance order, supported by evidence of the remarriage such as a marriage certificate, wedding photographs, or witness testimony confirming the new marital relationship. The court will examine this evidence and, if satisfied, terminate the maintenance obligation from the date remarriage is established or from the date of the application, depending on the specific facts.

It is worth noting that any maintenance already paid before the remarriage was disclosed or discovered is generally not refundable, so it is important to act promptly upon learning of the remarriage rather than delaying the application. Consulting the team at Aapka Legal Advice can help you gather the necessary evidence and file a well-supported application to terminate maintenance obligations following your former spouse's remarriage.

Because such applications sometimes face resistance or require careful handling of related issues like child maintenance (which typically continues regardless of the mother's remarriage), obtaining a second opinion from a retired judge can help you understand exactly which obligations end and which continue. Bengaluru's experienced family law advocates and retired judges, available through Best Bangalore Lawyers & Retired Judges | Aapka Legal Advice, can guide you through this process.

In conclusion, a former spouse's maintenance claim in Bengaluru generally ends upon remarriage, though prompt legal action is needed to formally terminate the existing maintenance order.
