Yes, a husband can claim maintenance from his wife under specific circumstances in India, although this is less common than a wife claiming maintenance from her husband. Generally, the wife has a right to maintenance from her husband, while the husband's right to claim maintenance from his wife is limited.

Yes, a husband can claim maintenance from his wife under Indian law.
Circumstances include:
1. He is unable to earn due to illness, disability, or old age.
2. He has no sufficient means to support himself.
3. The wife is financially well-off or earning more.
This is allowed under Section 24 and 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act and Section 125 of CrPC (in some cases).
