Chhattisgarh High Court upholds divorce, says wife's Rs 2 crore offer for divorce, long separation amounted to mental cruelty

The Chhattisgarh High Court has upheld a decree of divorce granted in favour of a husband, holding that prolonged separation, the wife's continued refusal to resume cohabitation despite repeated reconciliation efforts, and the overall conduct of the parties established mental cruelty under the Hindu Marriage Act. The Court also affirmed the award of Rs 10 lakh as permanent alimony, finding no reason to interfere with the Family Court's exercise of discretion.
