As per Islam you have to pay maintenance until the iddha period is over.
In India husband has to pay maintenance upto her second marriage or death including alimony.
No there is no penalty you can divorce her

She has a right to claim some amount from you as maintenance during and after the divorce proceedings. You can use her mental disorder as a ground for divorce if she is unwilling to agree to a mutual consent divorce.

You will have to pay some amount as maintenance after the divorce has been effected, she has a right to claim the same from you. You can apply to the High Court to quash any false claims under S.482 CrPC.
