The Allahabad High Court recently said that if minor disputes in marriage are viewed as "cruelty" by courts under divorce law, then many marriages would be at risk of being dissolved. The high court bench of Justices Saumitra Dayal Singh and Shiv Shanker Prasad observed while directing the judicial separation of an estranged married couple instead of directly allowing a plea for divorce. "If courts were to recognize and act on small disputes or occurrences and read them as completion of ingredients of cruelty, many marriages where parties may not be enjoying best relations may stand exposed to dissolution without any real cruelty being committed," the court stated. Judges in India Work for 14 to 15 Hours a Day, Find It Very Difficult To Maintain Work-Life Balance, Says Justice Prathiba Singh.
