Whether husband can get divorce on ground that wife is not preparing Tasty food?
A man’s plea seeking divorce from his wife on the grounds that she was not “dutiful” as she woke up late and did not cook tasty food has been dismissed by the Bombay High Court.
A bench of Justices K K Tated and Sarang Kotwal upheld an order of the family court that had dismissed the divorce plea filed by the resident of Mumbai’s Santacruz, stating that the allegations made did not amount to cruelty, and therefore, could not be a ground for divorce.
The bench ruled that the family court’s conclusions that the allegations made did not amount to cruelty was correct in law and must not be interfered with.
It observed that the wife of the petitioner was a working woman and yet, she was the one who had the additional burden of buying groceries, cooking for the petitioner and his parents, and doing all other household work.
