Wife's inability to conceive not ground to grant divorce for cruelty: Madras High Court
SUMMARY
The Madras High Court ruled that a wife's inability to conceive a child cannot be treated as cruelty and is not a valid ground for granting divorce. The court dismissed a husband's plea seeking divorce on this basis, stating infertility is not a deliberate act. The bench emphasized that marriage is not solely for procreation and denying divorce protects women's dignity and rights. This landmark judgment reinforces that childlessness cannot be blamed on one spouse alone.
