No you cant claim 

not possible as there is no provision for the same in income tax act 1961

No. Not even from any other head of income. It will be treated as a personal expenditure.

The spouse who receives alimony will have treat that income as "Income from Other sources".  (gift from a Non Relative) & will be taxed if the total receipts in a Financial year Exceed Rs. 50,000/-

noooooooooooooo

No one type of expenditure can be claimed as deduction under the head of capital gain. Thus assessee can't claim any type personal exp from his salary. He has to pay tax on salary income.

this is a drawing or personal expenditure

Thanks to every one for replying. 

I looked onInternet and found that in AMERICA u can claim the expense from your incomr. Sad to see that no such provision exist in Indian income tax 

in america it is general exp. and here it is rare exp.

Very true vishnu As in. America divorce are common from long ago But in India this trend is new Wait for 2_ 3 budgets it will be allowed😄
