The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, both the husband and wife are eligible for alimony, provided the conditions of the act are met. Alimony is granted to ensure that a party to the marriage, who is financially dependent on the other, is able to maintain a reasonable standard of living following a divorce or separation. This can be awarded to either the husband or the wife based on the facts of the case, and not just to the wife.
