Husband’s Divorce Petition Dismissed for Trivial Complaints : Karnataka High Court

The Karnataka High Court, in a recent judgment, dismissed a husband’s appeal seeking divorce on grounds of cruelty, observing that his grievances were trivial and resolvable through mutual understanding.

The Division Bench of Justices Jayant Banerji and Umesh Adiga noted that the husband’s expectation of an “obedient and sincere maid” instead of a life partner reflected an inherently flawed mindset.

The couple, married in 2015, lived together for only ten days before separating. The Court also considered the husband’s refusal to facilitate employee relocation and visa processes. The Court held that the trial court rightly rejected the divorce petition.
