The allegations needed specific proof to constitute actionable cruelty, which was not provided by the appellant.

1. Employee working in C.R.P.F. married with a girl from Nagpur under the expectation that he will be having peaceful married life. But, his dreams were tarnished. Their matrimonial life survived for 12 months. Since 18/07/2009, they separated. It was the choice of wife first to approach the Family Court, Nagpur. Husband failed to make any provision for maintenance for life partner as well as for the son. Next, it was the turn of husband to approach the Family Court, Nagpur to redress his grievances against the wife.

2. The husband was not successful in his mission. He sought separation of marital tie by passing decree of divorce. It was on account of misbehaviour and non - performance of marital obligations by the wife. Wife denied them. Husband failed to convince the Family Court. The result is dismissal of the petition No.25/03/2013. That is how husband has approached this Court with a request to re - appreciate the evidence and give verdict in his favour. Learned Advocate Shri N.S. Deshpande argued for husband / appellant. Whereas, learned Advocate Shri S.P. Kshirsagar argued on behalf of respondent - wife.

3. We are supposed to decide whether the behaviour of the wife is of such nature as to fall within the purview of ''actionable cruelty''. As everyone knows every matrimonial dispute does not give rise to Court action. Any family is also not free from disputes / differences of opinion. Only when such differences crosses the limits one spouse gets right to go for separation against erring spouse.
