The Delhi High Court has upheld the divorce granted to a judicial officer, whose estranged wife had levelled "false allegations" including dowry demand against him, on the ground that he was treated with "mental cruelty" and his life was made "miserable" by the woman.
The high court dismissed the appeal filed by the woman challenging the divorce decree and said the family court's order deserves to be affirmed on the ground of mental cruelty.
"We are of the view that the appellant/wife has treated the respondent/husband with cruelty and made the life of the husband miserable by levelling false allegations against him. Four consecutive closure reports by four different investigating officers in favour of the husband also point towards the harassment faced by him
The court said the woman had categorically admitted that she had filed all the complaints against her husband to teach him a lesson as he had filed a petition seeking divorce from her
