Hmnnn its a peculiar case. Can you be more specific about the facts of the case. Do you mean the sexual harassment is by way of refusing to cohabitate? in such a case it amounts to cruelty and a petition for divorce can be filed on that score.

Cruelty for a husband is differet from cruelty to a wife. Please give details, if still the answer is necessary, keeping the natural limitations without hurting the modesty of your wife.

Hindu Marriage Act is not codefide. How you may say this sir???

Modified query not posted. there are caselaws on this point, but they are related to and based on doctors advice and all that evidence. If the allegations before the court are based on and coupled with doctors advice or psychaitiric advice then the case is valid and stands the test of law. If it is between the two of the couple, then an effort should be made by one of the parties to take medical help.

Clarify, and repost the modified query.

no doctor is examined. no certificate is produced in court. except the ipse dixit of husband, no other witness is examined. is there any reported cases?
