Kerala HC: It’s important to understand that constant Comparisons not only hurt an individual but also affect mental health to a great extent. So after taking a close look at this problem, the Kerala High Court has come out with a judgement which states that if a Husband compares his wife to other women and repeatedly taunts her about her look, then that amounts to cruelty and can be considered grounds for divorce.
The court came up with this judgment, after dissolving the marriage of a couple who had filed for divorce 13 years ago on the ground of cruelty.
