The Telangana High Court has dismissed a husband's divorce plea, ruling that a working wife's schedule and a mother-in-law's complaints do not constitute cruelty. The court emphasized that ordinary matrimonial friction and daily life's 'wear and tear' are insufficient grounds for divorce, citing Supreme Court precedents. The husband had alleged his wife's failure to cooperate in chores and desire to live separately from his parents amounted to cruelty, while the wife's counsel argued her professional obligations were balanced with marital responsibilities.
