Calling hubby 'paaltu chuha' is cruelty, ground for divorce: Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court upheld a divorce, ruling that a wife calling her husband "pet rat" for obeying his parents constitutes cruelty. The court noted evidence supported the husband's claims of cruelty, desertion, and attempts to alienate him from his family. The wife's demand that he abandon his parents was deemed mental cruelty in the Indian social context.
