Compensation

32. Upon a decree of divorce, the Court may-

(a) order the party in fault to pay such compensation to the innocent party as to the Court may seem fit, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, including the pecuniary position or expectations of the party in fault and of the injury to the person or reputation of the innocent party;

(b) order a party, even if not in fault, to pay to the other party such sum as the Court may think fit for the maintenance of such other party who may have become destitute by reason of the divorce:

Provided that such maintenance shall not be payable for a period exceeding one year from the date of the divorce:

Provided further that the maintenance shall forthwith cease upon the marriage of the party who is in receipt of the same or, if the party paying such maintenance satisfies the Court that the other party is no longer destitute.
