Patna High Court rules that calling spouse names like "ghost" or "vampire" does not constitute matrimonial cruelty.
The Patna High Court has ruled that calling one's spouse names like "bhoot" (ghost) and "pishach" (vampire) does not constitute cruelty in failed matrimonial relationships. The court made this observation while hearing a case involving a father-son duo who were accused of cruelty by their divorced daughter-in-law. The court quashed the judgments passed by lower courts, stating that specific, distinct allegations against the petitioners were lacking.
