Jharkhand HC: Mental illness alone not enough ground for divorce
The Jharkhand High Court has ruled that a mental disorder by itself cannot justify granting a divorce. The court held that a spouse seeking divorce on such grounds must demonstrate that the illness makes reasonable cohabitation impossible. The ruling came while dismissing a husband's appeal who sought divorce citing his wife's alleged mental illness. The husband could not produce any medical evidence or expert testimony to substantiate his claims. The high court consequently upheld the family court's earlier decision to refuse dissolution of the marriage.
