Willful refusal for physical relationship is act of creulty and fit ground for divorce and your friend if can prove it in court by sufficient evidence can succeed in getting the marriage disolved.
As far alimony and maintenance issue is concerned that the wife may seek but the court will check the financial status of both parties before deciding that issue. If she is working and has sufficient means to maintain herself, she may not be allowed any maintenance nor alimony.

What evidence the husband has of the wife refusing physical relationships? All depends what all the husband has to say and bring on record of the court to prove charges of refusal by wife for physical relationships. The evidence is sufficient or not will be decided by court.

The evidence could only be oral testimony. However, the crux of the issue could be the stand that would be adopted by your wife.
