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

The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently dismissed a wife's plea challenging the divorce order granted to the couple under the Hindu Marriage Act. The court said that a woman expecting her husband to leave his aged mother of around 75 years and his sister of unsound mind unattended amounted to "cruelty." The high court further said that the woman petitioner's expectation that her husband should live with her after leaving his old mother and un-sound mind sister is considered to be an "act of cruelty". "It needs no reiteration that when one enters into matrimony, one surrenders a part of one's absolute freedom for the good of both and for the harmonious life of two alongwith their children (if any). Therefore, one should adjust his/her life pattern in the light of his/her marital obligations," the court said. Punjab and Haryana High Court Rejects Bail Plea of Man Who Married Minor Girl Under Muslim Personal Law, Says POCSO Act Prevails Over Other Laws.
