“A happy marriage doesn’t mean you have a perfect spouse or a perfect marriage. It simply means you’ve chosen to look beyond the imperfections in both.” - Fawn Weaver

This appeal has been filed by the appellant-husband against the judgment and order dated 28.9.2007 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court, Cuttack in Civil Proceeding No. 852 of 2006 in dismissing the divorce petition filed by him.

It is the case of the 2 appellant that some days after the marriage, the respondent started quarrelling with him and persuaded him to live separately from the joint family. To satisfy the respondent and to keep the family peace, the appellant shifted to the quarters in Sector-1 at Rourkela and stayed there with the respondent. The respondent insisted the appellant to bear the expenses of her parental house, the study expenses of her brother and also the treatment expenses of her mother. Though the appellant satisfied the demand of the respondent to some extent but when all the demands could not be fulfilled, the respondent picked up quarrel with the appellant
