Divorce plea allowed due to wife’s ‘illicit relations’

A Delhi court has allowed a man’s plea for divorce from his wife allegedly due to her “illicit relationship” with many persons, saying this would have “serious impact” on his mind.

The court allowed the city resident’s application in an ex-parte order as his wife did not appear before it despite repeated opportunities given to her to have her say on the man’s plea.

The man in his plea had claimed after eight years of their marriage, his wife was having illicit affairs with many other persons, making his married life miserable.

“….it has been clearly established from the unrebutted testimony of the petitioner (man) that the respondent wife has indulged consistently and persistently in a conduct which would have serious impact on the mind of the petitioner (man) causing him an extreme mental cruelty,” additional district judge Sujata Kohli said.
