🏛 Recent Legal Update:
Cruelty to Stepchildren = Mental Cruelty to Husband
📌 Kerala High Court Judgment – MAT.APPEAL NO. 596 OF 2019
Cruelty Towards Stepchildren is Grounds for Divorce – Kerala High Court
In a landmark decision (MAT. APPEAL NO. 596 OF 2019), the Kerala High Court held that cruelty by a wife towards her stepchildren amounts to mental cruelty against the husband, thus entitling him to a divorce under Section 10(1)(x) of the Indian Divorce Act, 1869.
The Court observed:
“If the wife is guilty of ill-treating the children, it would cause reasonable apprehension in the mind of the husband that it would be harmful or injurious for him to live with her.”
The Court emphasized that cruelty isn’t limited to physical harm — repeated mental torture, neglect, and even suicidal threats by a spouse can be valid grounds for divorce. This reinforces the right of every individual to seek a safe and respectful marital life, especially when children are involved.
Key Takeaways from the Judgment:
-
Mental cruelty is not limited to acts directly against a spouse. Abuse towards stepchildren also qualifies.
-
Suicidal threats and attempts by a spouse without justification are also valid grounds for divorce.
-
Maintenance must be fair and proportionate, considering the financial status of both spouses.
