Calling your wife names such as 'ugly', 'fat', and 'buffalo' amounts to cruelty, the family court held recently while granting divorce to a couple. The family court also gave their minor child into the custody of the wife; the court was satisfied with the wife's contention that her in-laws were superstitious people and used to say things like "Bacche ko nazar lag jayegi". The court said that the atmosphere in the wife's parental home appeared to be more cultured than that at the house of her husband, where his sisters seemed to be dominant.

How did the sisters poison the marriage?
Her petition adds that her husband, under his sisters' influence, subjected her to verbal abuse. The couple got married on February 16, 2008, and the wife gave birth to a son in 2011. Her petition says that right from the early days of the marriage, she was consistently harassed by her husband as well as by his two sisters. She further claims in her petition that her sisters-in-law, who were residing at the husband's house, went on to interfere in their private matters; that they never even allowed the newly-wedded girl to cook for her new family.

Was there another woman?
The wife said that at one point of time, she found a picture of a girl in her husband's wallet as well as on his phone. When the wife confronted him about it, he claimed that she was not able to give him sexual pleasures, and that he had no option but to find the same elsewhere.

Did the husband neglect his responsibilities?
The wife claimed that when she was pregnant, the husband had failed to fulfill his responsibilities towards her. He used to ask his wife to take public transport; he himself rode his chauffeur-driven car to office.

The wife further alleged that when the baby was born, her sister-in-law never gave it baby food, but gave it some other food instead.

During the cross examinations, because the husband failed to contest the allegations, the court held that the husband was at fault.
