The Delhi High Court observed that denial of sex by a spouse can be considered a form of mental cruelty where it is found to be persistent, intentional and for a considerable period of time. The court made this observation while hearing a divorce case. A division bench of Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and Justice Manoj Jain said that trivial irritations and loss of trust between a married couple cannot be confused with mental cruelty in connection with the case. The court made the observations while setting aside a family court order granting divorce to the husband on the grounds of cruelty and desertion by the wife.
