1. This appeal is directed against the judgment and decree dated 28.01.2008 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court, Kailashahar, North Tripura, in Case No. T.S. 26 (Divorce)/2007, whereby the marriage between the appellant and the respondent has been dissolved. The factual matrix for disposal of this appeal may be encapsulated as under:

The respondent filed an application under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 on the ground of cruelty alleging that after their marriage which was solemnised on 09.03.1991, the appellant treated him with cruelty on numerous occasions. Initially the impression that was given to the respondent that since the appellant being a State Government employee was earning a handsome amount even if the respondent was unemployed there would be no difficulty in managing the family after the marriage. But, after the marriage, the appellant had shown a turnaround and she started taking posting in far away places to avoid staying with the respondent. The respondent was compelled to find out an occupation for survival. It has been alleged in the petition that the appellant used to dig at the respondent for his being the unemployed. I
