Mumbai local court has said that depriving a woman of physical relationship and suspecting her character amounts to cruelty while granting divorce to a 27-year-old woman, “The respondent (husband) has no right to deprive the petitioner (wife) from physical relations or to suspect her character. It can be safely said that such conduct is more than sufficient which amounts to cruelty,” the court said.
In her petition seeking divorce in February 2012, the woman alleged once the marriage ceremony was over she was shocked to see her in-laws had occupied the room her father had arranged for their first night. The woman accused her mother-in-law of abusing and constantly asking her to leave their home. Things became worse after her husband suspected her character.
He court said that physical relationship is one of the most basic marital obligations and no party has right to deprive other from marital bliss without any justifiable reason.
