Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 25(3) allows the court, at the other party’s instance, to vary, modify or rescind permanent alimony where the recipient remarries. It also addresses a wife not remaining chaste or a husband having intercourse outside wedlock. Either listed ground can therefore support withdrawal; the provision confers a judicial power rather than automatic forfeiture.
