Divorce Approved: Court Rules Wife’s Insulting Language and Separation Demands as Cruel Behavior

The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled on a divorce case where the wife’s repeated use of the term ‘pet hamster’ for her husband, and her persistent demands to live separately from her in-laws, were deemed as acts of cruelty. The court’s decision highlights a unique situation within a joint family setting. The couple from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, experienced a marriage that turned sour after an initial period of harmony. The husband filed a petition citing the wife’s behavior and her desire to live apart. The husband also mentioned that his wife used abusive language. The court found merit in the husband’s claims.
