Chhattisgarh High Court Rules Insults Not Grounds for Divorce in Husband's Appeal
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that a woman calling her husband "black complexioned" or "fatty shaped" does not constitute grounds for divorce. The court upheld a family court's August 2024 decision rejecting the husband's divorce petition and ordering him to return gifts (stridhan) given by the wife's parents. The couple, married in March 2019, has been separated since late 2019 amid mutual allegations of cruelty, desertion, and abuse, which the courts found unproven or insufficient for divorce.
