See, sec 12 is for annulment of marriage and the effect of annulment is that if he gets the decree in his favour it would mean that the marriage never occurred b/w u and him. Hence, upon annulment you are not entitled to get any maintenance since you loose the status of being a wife.Secondly, if you take the stand that you did not have physical relationship you will certainly loose the case.
