After considering the case, the High Court noted that even though the wife had alleged that her husband was friendly with many girls and had adulterous relationships, she conceded in her cross-examination that she had no concrete proof to prove any allegation of adultery.
The Court concluded when all the incidents alleged were viewed together, they clearly depicted the non-adjusting attitude of the wife “who had no maturity to sort out the differences with the husband without his public humiliation due to which the respondent (husband) suffered mental cruelty.”
“In view of the foregoing discussions, we conclude that there is no infirmity in the Judgment dated 20.03.2017 of the learned Principal Judge granting divorce on the ground of cruelty to the respondent/husband under Section 13(1)(ia) of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955,” the Court went on to hold.
The wife’s appeal was, therefore, rejected.
