    Summary of FCA 161/2010 (and FCA 159/2010) The High Court of Bombay dismissed the husband's divorce petition on cruelty grounds and granted the wife maintenance of Rs.10,000 monthly plus Rs.10,000 for housing. The court found the allegations of cruelty (refusal to do household chores, cooking poorly, disrespect to in-laws)—made during only 3 months of cohabitation—constituted trivial marital discord rather than serious cruelty, and determined the wife lacked independent income while the husband, a qualified chartered accountant, had earning capacity.
