Can a wife wishing her husband to come live with her parents at her maternal home and be a ‘ gharjamai ’ (househusband) amount to cruelty? The answer can be found in a recent judgement by the Jharkhand High Court in a case wherein the husband sought a divorce on grounds of cruelty.
The couple got married in November 2008 in Patna, Bihar, as per Hindu customs and traditions, and became parents to a girl in July 2011. According to the details of the case, the couple started their matrimonial life in peace and love. However, after a few days, the wife started going to Patna frequently.
