The Tamil Nadu couple were married in 2002. The husband says the woman left the marriage hall. She claimed there were dowry demands and he was carted away by his brothers. He got married a second time after a divorce. The Supreme Court-dissolved the marriage seeing mental cruelty conditions.
In a laudable judgment, the Bombay High Court waived the six months’ cooling-off period under the Hindu Marriage Act as the woman was pregnant by another man.
