The Uttarakhand High Court recently said that a wife's refusal to engage in carnal intercourse against the order of nature due to physical incapability does not constitute mental cruelty towards her husband. The high court bench of Justice Ravindra Maithani observed while dismissing a criminal revision plea moved by a husband who challenged a family court's order directing him to pay INR 25,000 per month to his wife and INR 20,000 per month to his son as maintenance under Section 125 CrPC. In her plea, the woman alleged that her husband repeatedly committed anal sex against her will, which led to severe health issues.
