Hi! As far as I know he said he lived with her for a few years and was acknowledged to be married by the members of the society where he lived. Yes, not performing sacred rituals nullify the marriage but he was living with her for years and was acknowledged as her husband. So does it not nullify the previous argument that the marriage was not performed following all the necessary rituals. Second point, his wife is a working woman and can easily support herself, I might not know all about alimony but I think it should be a factor on reducing the amount to be given.

Not really, as far as I know under hindu marriage act you have to perform customs(saptapadi, kanyadan etc) for it to be concluded as a valid marriage. But, the problem is he lived with her for several years during which they were accepted by the society as a legally wedded couple. Sooo it just disposes the previous argument that the customers were not followed properly. He might have to give her a form of alimony as they are doing mutual divorce, but it will be decided on many other factors.
