The Delhi High Court on Tuesday, August 13, rejected a man's contention that the grant of divorce would bring "dishonour" and "stigma" upon himself and his family. The high court court observed while allowing a wife's plea seeking divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty. The state's top court also said that it was difficult to digest the argument that a grant of divorce would be stigmatic for either of the spouses when both are educated. As per the details of the case, first, the husband had agreed to the grant of divorce by mutual consent because the parties had been residing separately for the last 12 years, and the marriage between the parties had broken down beyond repair on account of the said prolonged separation. However, the husband resented granting divorce to his wife. The justification he gave was that the grant of divorce would bring "dishonour" and "stigma" upon himself and his family. Puja Khedkar Row: Delhi High Court Grants Interim Relief to Suspended IAS Officer, Bars Immediate Arrest Till August 21.
