Husband abusing wife, a teacher, in filthy language in front of her students would not only tarnish her image in society but also amount to mental cruelty under the Hindu Marriage Act, the Chhattisgarh High Court held.
The High Court noted that the husband had deserted the wife within five months of their marriage and that he didn't make any effort to bring her back, while the wife was ready to cohabit.
The Chhattisgarh High Court recently held that if a spouse levels extra marital affair allegations on his or her partner without any proof, it would amount to cruelty.
