The Bombay High Court noted that in modern society, the burden of household responsibilities should be borne equally by the couple. A division bench of Justices Nitin Sambre and Sharmila Deshmukh made the observation last week on September 6 while dismissing an appeal filed by a man seeking the dissolution of his 13-year-old marriage.
"He could not establish his claim of `cruelty` against his estranged wife", the judges held. The 35-year-old man had challenged a March 2018 order of a family court dismissing his plea seeking divorce.
