‘Living with another woman while divorce case pending not cruel’
The Morning Standard
|September 16, 2023
A husband living with another woman, with no possibility of reunion with his wife after a long separation, cannot be disentitled from divorce on account of proven cruelty by his wife, the Delhi High Court said.
-
The observation by a bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Neena Bansal Krishna came while dealing with a case of a couple who had been living separately since 2005 with no possibility of re-union, and the prolonged differences and criminal complaints by the wife made the husband's life bereft of peace and conjugal relationship.
"Such prolonged differences and criminal complaints made the life of respondent-husband bereft of peace and conjugal relationship which is the bedrock of any matrimonial relationship," the order read.
