Few instances over years do not amount to cruelty when reviewing marriage: Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court, in a recent judgment, observed that married life should be reviewed as a whole, and a few isolated instances over the years would not amount to cruelty.The Division Bench of Justice A.K. The husband had argued that there was marital discord from the beginning, his wife had not gotten along with his friends and family, and that she had deceived him by claiming that she was a ‘civil diploma holder’. The family court assessed the contentions raised by the wife against the husband’s claims, and held that his allegations and evidence therein failed to prove that the wife had committed cruelty, and thus refused to grant divorce.
