Madras High Court Rules Wife Not Obliged to Follow Husband Everywhere in Divorce Case
The Madras High Court overturned a family court's rejection of a husband's divorce petition after he moved to Mumbai for work without his wife. The court ruled that spouses cannot always live together due to practical reasons like employment, citing the example of a soldier and referencing the Vodafone ad pug to illustrate that a wife cannot be expected to follow her husband everywhere. The court found the husband's adultery claim unsubstantiated and ordered alimony, dissolving the 16-year-old marriage after prolonged separation.
