Can be avoided only if it is proved that she is capable of maintaining herself financially. If not so, you have to pay her. For any further assistance or clarification, you may get in touch with me. Thank you.

Mental harassment amounts to cruelty and if you prove cruelty on the part of your wife, the court might not ask you to pay alimony to her since it is because of her harassment that you are willing to divorce her
