The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently said that a false allegation of sexual assault by a wife against a husband's relatives amounts to cruelty. The court also said that the same can be a ground for divorce. The division bench of Justice Sudhir Singh and Justice Harsh Bunger said, "Levelling the allegations of sexual assault against all the male members of the family and the factum of them having been found innocent during the investigation, clearly amounts to cruelty." The high court observed while hearing an appeal filed by the wife who challenged the divorce decree passed by a Family Court, whereby the divorce petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act filed by the husband on the ground of cruelty was allowed. Punjab and Haryana High Court Upholds Divorce Order Granted to Couple, Says Wife Expecting Husband to Leave Elderly Mother, Sister with Unsound Mind Unattended Amounts to Cruelty.
