Ans:
One of the ground for decree of divorce is :
5. Respondent has been incurably of unsound mind.
therefore, on the ground of suppression of unsound mind at the time of marriage and its incurablity, divorce can be obtained

If the wife is having an incurable disease, then you brother can approach the family court seeking divorce on the ground of incurable disease. But if the marriage is held with fraud then the onus of proving the same will be on the shoulders of your brother before the family court and if it is proved then he need not pay any sort of alimony.
