Summary:
The husband in his plea claimed that they got married in 1995 and few years later, the wife started living separately. He has not placed on record any medical evidence to show that his mother and grandmother are bed ridden." The wife though refuted the allegations and on questioning by the court, whether she was willing to co-habit with the husband, refused it. The Bombay High Court has rejected a petition filed by a husband seeking divorce, claiming that his wife has deserted him, knowing well that he has an aged grandmother and mother, who are bed ridden, and leaving him amounts to cruelty. Further, she also said that there was no malafide intent behind claiming the monthly maintenance..
