Hearing the case, a division bench of Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad and Justice Arun Kumar Rai said that having unauthorized access to photographs of someone’s personal life and using them to intimidate is mental cruelty. A husband tarnishing the image of his own wife and humiliating her in front of the family causes unbearable pain. Earlier, the family court had rejected the wife’s divorce petition. Which has now been canceled by the High Court. The court held that under the Hindu Marriage Act, cruelty is not only physical, but hurting someone’s reputation is also a solid ground of mental cruelty. The court ruled in favor of the wife and considered it a valid ground for divorce.
