Biswajit Halder vs Hima Halder — 702/2025

Case 702/2025 Summary The Fast Track Court in Bongaon granted an ex parte divorce decree to Biswajit Halder against his wife Hima Halder under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act on grounds of cruelty. The husband alleged the wife was ill-tempered, abusive, physically assaultive, refused household duties, and abandoned the matrimonial home on 09-04-2024 without justification or resuming cohabitation. The court, finding the unrebutted evidence credible and noting the wife's failure to contest despite proper service, held that denying cohabitation without lawful reason constitutes cruelty, making continued cohabitation impossible. The marriage solemnized on 13-02-2021 was dissolved with immediate effect. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
