    Case Summary: Valliammal v. A. Chelladurai (CMSA(MD)/44/2021) The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court dismissed the wife's appeal challenging a divorce decree granted on grounds of cruelty. The husband, a retired Army officer, established that the wife made defamatory complaints to his Army superiors about alleged illegal relationships, removed her sacred thali (marriage chain), and the couple had lived separately for over 30 years without reconciliation attempts. The court held that defamatory complaints damaging reputation, removal of the thali symbolizing the marriage bond, and prolonged separation constitute mental cruelty justifying divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, confirming the lower courts' findings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
