JUDGMENT :
SABYASACHI BHATTACHARYYA, J.
1. The present appeal has been filed against a judgment and decree whereby the appellant/husband’s suit for divorce on
Continuous baseless allegations and criminal complaints by one spouse can constitute mental cruelty, justifying divorce when the marriage has irretrievably broken down.
(1) Divorce – A dead marriage must be given a decent quietus.(2) Friendship between two persons of different genders ipso facto cannot, in today’s society, be construed to be illicit relationship.
False allegations and harassment by a spouse can result in mental cruelty, justifying divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act.
The main legal point established in the judgment is that allegations of mental cruelty and adultery must be proven, and divorce cannot be granted on the ground of irretrievable break-down of marriage....
Cruelty in matrimonial law encompasses both physical and mental aspects, with the impact on the aggrieved spouse being crucial for determining divorce.
Persistent false allegations of cruelty and emotional distress warrant granting divorce under the Special Marriage Act, establishing grounds for dissolution.
