Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal concerning a divorce decree under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which was set aside by the High Court. The Court held that the High Court erred in re-evaluating evidence and disregarding the established cruelty by the Respondent wife, including serious allegations against the Appellant's character and threats of suicide. The Supreme Court reinstated the divorce decree, affirming the Family Court's findings on cruelty and the untenable nature of the marital relationship.
