Should I feel I owe my (ex-)wife alimony?

Indeed, I have made my peace with the situation. The mehr was deferred, so it’s due to her now.

Now, whether it would be difficult for her to be married in Pakistan, I am sure. It won’t be easy for me to get married to a Pakistani woman, either. In addition, my (ex-)wife and her family are very adept at getting others’ sympathy: I don’t think it would be difficult for them to make an emotional case that the divorce was a cruel act perpetuated by a vile, cruel, pompous, miserly family - as they have already done.

My (ex-)wife made a big deal about how much in demand she was back in Pakistan, rejecting and refusing many, many proposals from relatives and friends. She even pointed out the many men who flirted with her here in the States. I am confident she can get married again. (Poor future husband.)
