Bengaluru, Mar 27: Differences between husband and wife, fights and living separately are not reasons enough to consider an appeal for divorce according to the high court.

The High court quashed a decree for divorce pronounced by the fourth additional family court of the city.

The divisional bench comprising Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice S Vishwajit Shetty gave this order responding to the application of the wife, who questioned divorce appeal of her husband that was upheld by the family court.

In its verdict, the divisional bench of high court said, “The divorce decree was passed by the family court citing reasons that there is a huge gap that cannot be reconciled between the couple and that they have been living separately since nine years. So these reasons are not enough to be eligible for divorce. This divorce decree is not correct. The accusations of husband and wife are to be seen with a specific reference to the customs of their respective societies.”
