Wife's Imposition of Guests Without Consent is Cruelty :Calcutta HC

The Calcutta High Court ruled that a wife imposing her friend’s family at her husband's residence against his will constitutes cruelty.

The ruling arose from the case where the trial court denied divorce to a husband alleging cruelty due to his wife’s friends and family staying at their home without his consent.

However, the husband later appealed, arguing that his wife's actions caused him severe mental distress 

The Calcutta HC emphasized the need for mutual consent in household matters, ultimately supporting the husband's claim of cruelty and validating his grounds for divorce, overturning a previous trial court decision.
