HUSBAND VIEWED WIFE AS CASH COW: DELHI HIGH COURT DISSOLVES MARRIAGE The Delhi High Court recently dissolved a marriage between a woman working with the Delhi Police and her labourer husband, while observing that the latter viewed her only as a cash cow and became interested in her only after she secured a job (Sanno Kumari v. Krishan Kumar). In doing so, the Bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Jasmeet Singh set aside a January 2020 order of a family court which had refused to grant the woman a divorce decree on the grounds of cruelty and desertion. The husband, however, claimed that he had funded her education and it was because of him that she got a job with the Delhi Police. The Court noted that even though she had become a major in 2005, the woman kept living with her parents, and therefore, her education was funded by them. It went on to note that the conduct of the husband amounted to cruelty. The Court thus found that the woman was able to establish the ground of cruelty and desertion and that a clear case of perpetration of mental cruelty was established against the husband. It thus set aside the order of the family court and dissolved the marriage between the two.
