(MENAFN- Live Mint) The Calcutta High Court ruled that the long stay of a married woman's friends and family at her husband's house, against his will, can amount to cruelty.
According to a report by Times of India, Calcutta High Court on 19 December granted a divorce to a man on“grounds of cruelty”.

“Such imposition of friend and family by the woman on her husband at his quarters against his will, sometimes even when the respondent (wife) was herself not there, over a continuous period of time, can definitely be constituted as cruelty, since it might very well have made life impossible for the appellant, which would come within the broader purview of cruelty,” the court held.

Despite the wife moving out of her husband's Kolaghat house in 2008, her family and a friend continued to stay there. The wife later relocated to Uttarpara in 2016. The husband claimed cruelty, stating that they were living separately and alleging that she showed no interest in maintaining a conjugal relationship or having a child.
The report said that the divorce was filed in 2008 by the husband, only three years after their marriage. They had married in Nabadwip, West Bengal, and moved to Kolaghat in 2006, where the husband worked.
