Wife Deserted Husband тАЬWithout Any Reasonable CauseтАЭ In 1992: Gujarat High Court Grants Divorce To 67-Year-Old Husband After 3 Decades
The Gujarat High Court granted divorce to a 67-year-old husband after finding that his wife had been living separately from him since 1992 without reasonable cause. The couple married in 1989 and had two sons, but the wife left the matrimonial home in August 1992 and did not return. The Court set aside the Family CourtтАЩs finding on desertion and dissolved the marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act. It also increased the wifeтАЩs permanent alimony from тВ╣12,000 to тВ╣20,000 per month, considering that she had no independent source of income.
