The Allahabad High Court has stated that a wife's decision not to wear 'parda' is not grounds for divorce. The court granted a divorce based on desertion spanning over 23 years.
Allahabad High Court has ruled that a woman's decision to not wear ' parda ' (veil) does not amount to cruelty on husband and thus cannot be a ground for divorce. A two-judge bench comprising Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh and Justice Donadi Ramesh made the observation while hearing an appeal filed by a man whose suit for divorce was dismissed by the trial court. The HC granted divorce on the ground that husband and wife were in desertion for more than 23 years.
The appellant (husband) had pressed two grounds for divorce: mental cruelty by saying the wife has been a free-willed person who would go out of her own to the market and other places and did not observe 'Parda'. The second ground was of desertion. The two married on February 26, 1990 and their 'gauna' took place on December 4, 1992. They became parents on December 2, 1995 when a male child was born to them. The couple resided together, intermittently. But they have not cohabited for more than 23 years and their only child in now a major. The court allowed the man's appeal, saying,'The appellant may claim mental cruelty committed by the respondent to the extent she has deserted the appellant for very long. In any case, the respondent (wife) is found to have deserted the appellant and to have sustained that desertion for a long period, which has now exceeds 23 years.' 'That wilful act of the respondent and her refusal (even now) to cohabit with the appellant to revive her matrimonial relationship appears to be an act of desertion committed of degree as may itself lead to dissolution of her marriage. Here, we note, the respondent has not only refused cohabitation with the appellant, but she has also never made any effort to seek restitution of her conjugal rights.
