In a significant ruling, a local court in Chandigarh has granted a divorce to a man residing in Sector 44, citing mental cruelty stemming from his wife's unsubstantiated claims. The court found that after the wife, a private school teacher, left their marital home, she began making false allegations against her husband, including accusations of extra-marital affairs. Despite initially denying the allegations, she later acknowledged sending a defamatory letter to various authorities and relatives, which aimed to slander her husband. The court noted that her claims were not substantiated in any judicial proceedings, causing the husband deep anguish and embarrassment. Citing a precedent from the Supreme Court regarding reckless allegations, the court concluded that the husband's ability to live with his wife had been irreparably harmed, leading to the dissolution of their marriage with costs awarded to the husband.
