The Telangana High Court has upheld a divorce decree for a couple after a 17-year dispute, citing an irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. The court ordered the husband to pay Rs 50 lakh for permanent alimony and maintenance for their daughter. While the wife initially sought reunion for their child's sake, the High Court noted the extensive litigation and mutual distrust made reconciliation impossible. The husband had sought divorce citing cruelty, while the wife alleged harassment.
