The answer

Alimony is not incumbent upon the husband merely upon the conclusion of the marriage contract, but rather after the wife enables him to consummate the marriage. This is because the wife's alimony is only obligatory when the husband is enabled to enjoy conjugal relations, and this is the view of the majority of jurists. Similarly, the husband is not obligated to pay for the wife's university tuition unless she stipulated that in the contract, based on the : "Indeed, the most worthy of conditions to be fulfilled are those by which you make intimate relations lawful."
