In a peculiar case from Madhya Pradesh, a woman sought to end her 28-year marriage, claiming her husband had remarried, leading to a ‘one-sided’ divorce. The husband has contested the divorce decree, arguing it was based on misleading evidence.
The couple, married in 1998, faced strain due to the husband’s work-related absences, eventually leading to the woman living separately by 2015. Despite the wife’s determination to legally separate, the husband opposed the move.
The wife, in 2021, filed for divorce, citing her husband’s second marriage. She presented a family photo showing the husband with another woman, whom she identified as his second wife. The court, relying on this, granted divorce without the husband’s participation.
Upon realizing the divorce order, the husband discovered the woman in the photo was his sister, not a second wife. He has challenged the ruling, claiming it was based on false representation and denying him a fair hearing.
The High Court is now reviewing the case, with the husband seeking to overturn the divorce order due to alleged reliance on incorrect claims and lack of proper hearing.
