Punjab & Haryana High Court upholds divorce for husband due to wife's verbal abuse as mental cruelty.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that a wife calling her husband "Hijda" (transgender) constitutes mental cruelty, affirming a divorce granted to the husband by a family court. The court found the wife's actions, including taunting him and her unsubstantiated claims of domestic violence, to be cruel. The ruling dismissed her appeal against the divorce, emphasizing the lack of evidence from her side. The couple had been living separately for six years.
