Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the dissolution of marriage under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the decree of divorce granted by the Additional District Judge, emphasizing that the respondent-wife's mental health issues and aggressive behavior constituted sufficient grounds for divorce. The Court reinstated the decree of divorce, affirming the appellant-husband's right to seek dissolution based on the respondent's actions and mental condition.
