Chhattisgarh High Court Rules on Divorce Cases Involving Allegations of Cruelty and Insults
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that a wife calling her husband "black complexioned" or "fatty shaped" does not justify divorce, upholding a family court's rejection of the husband's petition. The couple married in 2019 and separated in 2019 amid mutual allegations, including cruelty and desertion. The court found insufficient evidence of cruelty or intent to desert by the wife and directed the husband to return her stridhan. Separately, the court granted divorce to another woman citing mental cruelty based on abusive messages and conduct by her husband.
