Aggrieved with dismissal of petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”), for dissolution of her marriage with respondent, the appellant-wife has filed the present appeal challenging judgment and decree dated 23.9.2014 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Amritsar.

2. The appellant-wife, in her petition under Section 13 of the Act averred that she was married to respondent on 8.5.1999 at Amritsar as per Hindu (Sikh) rites and they lived together till 18.5.2008 and during the said period they resided at different places including Amritsar, Bangalore and Jalandhar. A son namely Amarbir Singh and a daughter namely Simran were born out of the wedlock on 16.2.2000 and 5.4.2001, respectively. Though the respondent did not treat the appellant well right from the very beginning but such treatment was ignored by the appellant treating the same to be normal wear and tear of the married life. However, after January 2008, the behaviour of respondent became hostile, aggressive and violent not only towards the appellant but also towards the children making it extremely difficult for the appellant
