Rs 2 cr demand, refusing to live with husband amounts to mental cruelty: Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh high court upheld a family court's divorce order for a husband. The wife's refusal to live with him and her financial demand caused mental cruelty. She had demanded two crore rupees to agree to the divorce proceedings. The court dismissed her appeal and upheld ten lakh rupees alimony. This decision reinforces the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
