Chhattisgarh High Court Rules on Divorce Pleas Involving Allegations of Cruelty and Mental Harassment
The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed a man's divorce plea, ruling that his wife's remarks calling him dark-complexioned and fat did not constitute sufficient grounds for divorce. The court upheld a family court order directing the husband to return his wife's stridhan (gifts from her parents). The wife denied the husband's allegations of hostility and desertion, instead accusing him of extramarital affairs, alcohol abuse, and neglect. Separately, the court granted a divorce to another woman citing mental cruelty through abusive messages and harassment by her husband.
