The High Court of Karnataka has said that insulting a man for being ‘dark-skinned’ by his wife constitutes cruelty as it underlined this as a strong reason for allowing his appeal and granted him divorce.
The HC stated this, in a recent judgment, while granting divorce to a 44-year-old man from his 41-year-old wife.
The evidence on record, from close scrutiny, also leads to the conclusion that the wife used to insult the husband on the premise that he is dark and for the same reason has moved away from the company of the husband without any cause, the court noted.
