Appellant and respondent (hereinafter appellant shall be referred as ‘wife’ and respondent shall be referred as ‘husband’) were married on 08052011 at Amravati as per customary rites. After marriage wife went to Akola to cohabit with the husband in a joint family. At the time of marriage husband was serving in Axis Bank Branch at Pimpalgaon Baswant in District Nasik.

She was misbehaving with mother-in-law on trivial issues. Due to insistence of wife respondent took her to Pimpalgaon Baswant and both started residing in a rented accommodation. It is stated by husband that she used to avoid household work and remain busy for hours together in talking on phone with her parents and sisters. She was avoiding physical relations with him.
