A wife's insult and refusal to live with husband led to upheld divorce over mental cruelty and desertion.
The Chhattisgarh High Court upheld a divorce decree granted to a husband after his wife called him a "paaltu chooha" (pet rat) for respecting his parents and refused to live with her in a separate home.
The court found her actions constituted mental cruelty, particularly under Indian joint family norms, and confirmed the family court’s ruling on desertion and cruelty.
The wife admitted sending a message demanding he leave his parents, which the court viewed as coercive.
Though the wife claimed neglect and emotional harm, the court found her prolonged absence from the marital home—over two years—met legal desertion criteria.
The appeal was dismissed, and the husband was ordered to pay Rs 5 lakh in alimony for their son.
El insulto y la negativa de una esposa a vivir con su marido llevaron a que se confirmara el divorcio por encima de la crueldad mental y la deserción.
