DARSHAN GUPTA vs RADHIKA GUPTA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of mental incapacity in the context of marriage, emphasizing that under Section 13(1)(iii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a spouse can seek divorce on the grounds of mental disorder if the other spouse is incapable of performing matrimonial duties. The Court held that Radhika Gupta's severe medical condition rendered her unable to fulfill her marital obligations, thus justifying the husband's petition for divorce. The appeal was allowed, and the marriage was dissolved on the grounds of mental incapacity.
