Alimony is obligatory upon the husband for his wife during the existence of the marriage and after marital consummation, even if the husband travels away from her. Her right to alimony does not fall as long as the wife does not refuse her husband. If the wife is employed, this does not nullify her right to alimony, unless the husband stipulated at the time of the contract that he would allow her to work in exchange for not spending on her or reducing the spending. It is advisable for the spouses to agree on sending a monthly sum until they can reunite.
