A Chhattisgarh High Court has granted a divorce to a husband after determining that his wife’s use of the term ‘pet hamster’ to describe him, along with her insistence on living separately from his family, constituted cruelty. The case provides a specific example concerning the dynamics within a joint family system. The couple, residing in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, had a marital history that began favorably but deteriorated over time. The couple has a son. The wife frequently demanded to live apart from the husband’s family and used derogatory language during arguments. The husband sought legal intervention, accusing his wife of cruelty and abandonment.
