casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: R. Lakshmi Narayan v. Santhi The Supreme Court dismissed the husband's appeal seeking to annul the marriage on grounds of the wife's mental incapacity under Hindu Marriage Act sections 5(ii)(b) and 12(1)(b). The Court held that the husband failed to establish that the wife's alleged mental disorder rendered her unfit for marriage and procreation; mere evidence of past treatment and lack of cohabitation for one month were insufficient to meet the strict standard of proof required to void an already solemnized marriage.
