Schatz, 202 Okl. 433 , 214 P.2d 943, 944 , we held: “ ‘It is well established that where a divorce is granted the wife by reason of the fault of the husband the allowance of permanent alimony rests in the sound discretion of the trial court and that the trial court’s conclusion in this respect will not be disturbed on appeal unless against the clear weight of the evidence, or unless there has been some abuse of discretion.’ ””
