12. A and B got married in 2018. It was only after the marriage that A discovered B’s true colors. He refused to look for gainful employment and instead relied on A’s salary for all his needs. Worse, he would entertain drinking sprees for his barkada day in and day out in their home. One time, he even asked A to dance for them while they drank. A consequently filed a petition for declaration of nullity of her marriage with B on the ground of B’s psychological incapacity. In his answer, B opposed the petition on the ground that since he was mentally healthy, he cannot be declared psychologically incapacitated. Is B’s argument in accordance with prevailing jurisprudence? Reason(s).
