Can a man apply for divorce

One of the grounds of divorce is Cruelty – A spouse can file a divorce case when he/she is subjected to any kind of mental and physical injury that causes danger to life, limb and health. The intangible acts of cruelty through mental torture are not judged upon one single act but series of incidents. Certain instances like the food being denied, continuous ill treatment and abuses to acquire dowry, perverse s*xual act etc are included under cruelty.

Constant threats by the wife to commit suicide is also considered as an act of cruelty, besides other acts of cruelty by her.   If your son is unable to tolerate her tortures (both mental and physical), he can file a divorce case against her on the grounds of cruelty, but you have to watchful about the provocative retaliations from he side in the form of false cases following suit to your divorce petition.

Thank you all for the advice and support. How long does it usually take for the divorce process. Is there any caution that we should take before applying for divorce.
