The Karnataka high court has observed that unsubstantiated adultery allegations made by a man against his wife, doubting the paternity of their child, amount to him inflicting mental cruelty on his wife. The court stated that this conduct constitutes sufficient cause for her to withdraw from his society. The court also directed the husband to pay costs to his wife. The family court had previously granted divorce to the husband, but the high court set aside this decision, stating that the allegations of adultery and paternity did not meet the parameters set by the Supreme Court.https://ift.tt/X0nUVfP
