These appeals arise from a common order dated 27.03.2015 in OP No.122 of 2015 and OP No. 162 of 2014 on the file of the Family Court, Vatakara.

3. Mat. Appeal No.114 of 2017 is filed by the wife challenging the decree of divorce granted to the husband by the Family Court. Mat. Appeal No. 1254 of 2016 is filed by the husband challenging the decree for return of gold ornaments to the wife.

5. The husband contended that, immediately after the marriage, he came to know that the wife was suffering from epilepsy and other illnesses. He further contended that, when they were leaving her parental home after marriage, she fell down in the railway station and manifested symptoms of fits and fainted for five minutes. The mother of the wife pacified the husband that it might be due to the stress of leaving the loved ones. However, after reaching the matrimonial home at Chennai, the wife was frequently manifesting symptoms of fits and she used to fall down and faint frequently. Thereafter, the behaviour of the wife towards the husband became strange and cruel; and she ignored the husband and was sitting alone
