The High Court made the observations while rejecting an appeal by a woman who challenged the family court order granting her estranged husband divorce on the grounds of cruelty.
The parties got married in the year 2009 and a daughter was born from the wedlock in 2011. However, the husband stated that since the beginning of the marriage, the conduct of the wife was indifferent and that she had no interest in discharging her matrimonial obligations.
Among several other grounds taken, the husband also said that on the day of Karwachauth of 2009, the wife got annoyed with him and decided not to fast because he did not recharge her phone.
It was also alleged that in April, when the husband developed a slip disc, the wife, rather than taking care of him, removed vermillion from her forehead, broke bangles and wore a white suit, declaring that she had became a widow.
