Karnataka: Wife used to taunt husband by calling him ‘black man’, High Court got divorce, and said this
The Karnataka High Court has given a big decision regarding the relationship between husband and wife. The court has said that no person can insult anyone. Actually, a wife insults her husband and used to taunt him by calling him black and white. The court said, adoption of a man by his wife for dark skin is cruelty. The Court considered this to be a strong cause for divorce and granted the divorce of a husband and wife. The Karnataka High Court made this remark while granting divorce to a 44-year-old man from his 41-year-old wife. On the matter, the High Court said, on a closer examination of the evidence on record, it also comes to the conclusion that the wife used to insult her husband because he is black and that is why she has gone away from her husband. Thus, allowing the petition for divorce under Section 13 (i) (a) of the Hindu Marriage Act, the High Court observed, “To conceal this aspect, the wife has made false allegations of illicit relations against her husband and these The facts will definitely lead to cruelty and divorce.”
The husband had approached the court
The 44-year-old man from Bangalore was married in the year 2007 and the couple has a daughter. In the year 2012, the husband approached a family court in Bangalore for divorce, in which he appealed that the wife insulted him. On the husband’s appeal, a division bench of Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Anant Ramnath Hegde gave its verdict. The High Court said, “It is the case of the husband that the wife used to insult him by saying that his complexion is dark. The husband has further stated that he used to suffer humiliation for the sake of the child.
On the other hand, the wife had filed a case against her husband and in-laws under IPC section 498A (subjecting a married woman to cruelty). The woman had also filed a case under the Domestic Violence Act and had gone to live with her parents along with the child. The wife also alleged that her husband was having an illicit relationship with another woman and had a child from her.
High Court has made strict remarks
In 2017, the family court had rejected the husband’s petition for divorce. The husband then approached the Karnataka High Court, which ruled that the allegations leveled against the husband that he had an illicit relationship with a woman were completely baseless and baseless, as well as negligent. The court said in the judgment, “The evidence on our record shows that the wife was not interested in marriage because of the black complexion of the husband.”
