Sangita vs Shiv Singh — 29/2025

Case Summary: 29/2025 - Sangita v. Shiv Singh Court Decision: The Additional District Judge of Aklera (Jhalawar district) granted the divorce petition filed by Sangita under Section 13(1)(i) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, on grounds of cruelty and desertion. The marriage solemnized on March 31, 2017, was dissolved. Key Reasoning: The court found credible evidence through the petitioner's testimony and documentary proof (marriage card, FIR under IPC Sections 498A, 406, 385 dated June 13, 2023) establishing that the respondent subjected the petitioner to physical and mental cruelty, demanded dowry worth ₹2 lakhs plus jewelry, threatened second marriage, and abandoned her approximately 2-3 years before filing the petition. The respondent failed to appear or contest the allegations in the ex-parte proceedings, and the court deemed the petitioner entitled to divorce relief.
