1. If the husband refrains from providing for his wife, or it is impossible to collect the maintenance from him, the court shall give him a period not exceeding (30) thirty days. If he refuses to pay without presenting an acceptable excuse, the court shall impose divorce on him. 2. If the husband claims to be insolvent in paying the obligatory maintenance to his wife and proves so, the judge shall give him a period not exceeding (90) ninety days. If he refuses to pay after the expiry of the period, the judge shall impose divorce on him. In all cases, the divorce in this case occurs as a minor irrevocable divorce. 3. If the case for non-support is filed more than twice and the court finds in each case that there has been no support, and the wife requests a divorce for non-support, the judge shall divorce her from him irrevocably.
