Explanation:

- Option 1: A legally wedded wife can claim maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) during the subsistence of marriage. This section provides financial support for wives unable to maintain themselves.

- Option 2: A divorced wife who has not remarried is also eligible to claim maintenance under the same section. It ensures that divorced women who haven't found new means of support can maintain themselves.

- Option 3: Both a legally wedded wife and a divorced wife who has not remarried can claim maintenance. This is the correct interpretation of Section 125 of CrPC.

- Option 4: This option repeats the same as option 3 but implies exclusivity, which isn't necessary as both are covered together under Section 125.
