Recently, the Kerala High Court granted a divorce to a woman whose husband persistently doubted her fidelity, monitored her movements and forced her to resign from her job as a nurse. The division Bench of Justice Devan Ramachandran and Justice MB Snehalatha also said that such conduct amounted to severe mental cruelty under Section 10(1)(x) of the Divorce Act, 1869 which allows divorce if the spouse's conduct makes cohabitation harmful or injurious. The Kerala High Court further said that suspicion and constant monitoring of a spouse's life can destroy the very foundation of a marriage, which rests on trust, respect and emotional security. "A suspicious husband can turn the matrimonial life into a living hell. The constant doubt and mistrust poison the very foundation of marriage, which is built on love, faith and understanding. A suspicious husband who habitually doubts wife's loyalty destroys her self-respect and mental peace. Mutual trust is the soul of marriage, when it is replaced by suspicion, the relationship loses all its meaning," the court added. The court observed while granting divorce to a woman who approached the High Court after a family court dismissed her plea for divorce on the ground of cruelty, citing lack of evidence. Kerala High Court Orders Negumangad SHO To Arrest Lawyer and Her Husband Accused of Misappropriating INR 40 Lakh From Her Client.
