Cruelty: Must It Be Boxed? A Curious Analysis Of Cruelty As Interpreted From The Hindu Marriage Act

Karan Kaul, Jindal Global Law School

ABSTRACT

Cruelty under the Hindu Marriage act as a means of dissolution has had a very peculiar journey. This paper will be divided into three sections and tracks that peculiar journey while discussing the interpretive problems that arise in the Supreme Court. The first part consists of the introduction of the concept and its statutory standing. In the second part, I will give my response as to how this concept has been interpreted through various case laws and my opinions on if I believe these interpretations are a what we as a society require. In the final part of the paper, I will provide my concluding remarks.
