Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decree of divorce granted under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, affirming that the appellant-wife's behavior constituted cruelty towards the respondent-husband. The Court found that the wife's actions, including the termination of pregnancies without the husband's consent and her rude conduct towards his family, amounted to mental cruelty. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeal, confirming the lower courts' decisions.
