Even today, there is no representation on behalf of the appellant. We have heard Mr. C.Ruthwik Reddy, learned counsel representing Mr.C.Damodar Reddy, learned counsel for the respondent.
2. This appeal is filed challenging the Order and Decree dated 15.04.2015 in O.P.No.65 of 2009 passed by the learned Judge, Family Court, Rangareddy District at L.B.Nagar.
3. Appellant herein is the wife and respondent herein is the husband. Their marriage was performed on 15.06.2006 as per Hindu rites and customs. It is an arranged marriage. They were blessed with a male child on 03.08.2007. Thereafter respondent filed a petition under Section 13 (1)(ia) and (ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 vide O.P.No.65 of 2009 against the appellant herein seeking dissolution of marriage on the grounds of cruelty and desertion. According to the respondent, appellant deserted him on 20.01.2007.

The court affirmed a divorce decree citing lack of evidence for claims of cruelty and established financial obligations for alimony and child maintenance in divorce proceedings.
The prolonged separation and the respondent's new marriage established sufficient grounds for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, emphasizing the need for financial security for the child involved.
The burden of proof lies with the party alleging cruelty or desertion; mere allegations without evidence cannot support divorce claims.
The dissolution of marriage requires substantial evidence of cruelty or desertion, which must be assessed contextually, recognizing the complexities of human relationships.
