Wife Sought âš50 Lakh From Husbandâs Lover For Breaking Her Marriage âDelhi Court Rejects Claim, Says Marriage Was Already In A âRough Phaseâ
A Delhi court dismissed a wifeâs âš50 lakh damages suit against her husbandâs alleged partner for âalienation of affection.â The court held that merely proving a subsisting marriage or an extramarital relationship was not enough. The wife first had to establish that genuine marital affection existed and that the third partyâs intentional conduct caused its destruction. The evidence indicated that the marriage was already going through a rough phase, and the required causal link was not established.
