Wife’s Frequent Visits To Maternal Home & Pressuring Only Son To Leave Parents Amount To Cruelty: Madras HC Upholds Husband’s Divorce
The Madras High Court upheld divorce in favour of a husband after considering the wife’s conduct, including repeatedly insisting that he distance himself from his parents and set up a separate residence. The husband was the only son, and the Court considered his responsibilities toward his parents while assessing the matrimonial circumstances. It also examined allegations concerning the wife’s frequent insistence on visiting her parental home and held that the cumulative conduct established mental cruelty warranting divorce.
