False Allegation of Alcoholism, Persistent Humiliation of Husband by Wife is Cruelty: Madhya Pradesh High Court

The MP High Court held that repeated false allegations of alcoholism by the wife and persistent humiliation of the husband amounted to cruelty, thereby justifying divorce. The court emphasised that matrimonial behaviour must reflect fairness and truthfulness; misuse of allegations for tactical advantage undermines trust and marital bond. This decision exemplifies how family-law jurisprudence scrutinises conduct and evidential credibility in dissolution petitions.
