Recently, the Madhya Pradesh High Court granted a divorce to a man after finding that his wife had falsely accused him of intoxication and contested his divorce plea despite being determined not to resume marital life. The division Bench of Justices Vishal Dhagat and Anuradha Shukla, while granting divorce, observed that the attitude of the wife to persistently ridicule her husband as an alcoholic in his social circle is a serious affair, amounting to mental cruelty. As per the details of the case, the couple got married in 2004 and have two children. However, they have been living separately since 2017. Earlier, the wife had filed a petition under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act against the husband; however, it was closed later. In 2018, the husband filed for divorce, alleging that his wife's behaviour towards him was cruel and that she used to make false allegations against him. However, the wife contested the plea, and told the court that she was subjected to cruelty and that a compromise had been reached only after her husband had apologised. Wife's Occasional Refusal To Have Physical Relations Not Cruelty to Husband Under Hindu Marriage Act, Says Madhya Pradesh High Court.
