The Madras High Court ruled that a wife’s act of secretly arranging their daughter’s marriage without informing the father amounts to mental cruelty under matrimonial law, and granted divorce after finding her conduct caused distress preventing continuation thereafter.
The Delhi High Court upheld the dissolution of a septuagenarian couple’s marriage after years of separation, dismissing the wife’s challenge to the divorce decree granted to the husband on grounds of cruelty. The court emphasized the lack of effort from the wife in reconciling and her pursuit of legal battles against the husband, leading to the definitive end of any chance of reunion.
