Thali removal not enough: Madras High Court grants divorce for mental cruelty
A Madras High Court ruling granted a husband a divorce, citing mental cruelty. While the wife admitted to removing her thali chain during separation, the court clarified this act alone isn't grounds for divorce. However, it served as crucial evidence, alongside public accusations and prolonged separation, indicating the couple's intent to end the marriage irrevocably. The judgment emphasizes context over symbolic acts in divorce proceedings.
