The respondent/husband filed an application under Section 13 of the Act of 1955 with the averments that his marriage was solemnized with the appellant on 3.7.2003 and from their wedlock one son Varesh Kumar was born on 13.1.2005. It was pleaded that after marriage, the appellant/wife started quarreling with the respondent for living separately. She used to suspect that the respondent/husband has illicit relations with his sister-in-law (QqQsjh HkkHkh).
