The petitioner told the court that after he married the respondent in 2003, he helped her treat her tuberculosis.
He claimed that given her whimsical, short tempered and stubborn nature she did not behave well with either him or his family because of which they fought a lot.
Further, he claimed that in December 2004, the respondent contracted herpes and subsequently, tests revealed that she was HIV positive as well. All of this, he said, caused him and his family mental agony.
After the respondent returned from her matrimonial home where she had gone to recover from the sickness in February 2005, she was told to return by the petitioner’s mother, he stated.
The petitioner, thereafter, filed for divorce on the ground that even after two months having passed, the respondent was not in a healthy condition and had tested positive for HIV again.
