Insistence on retaining the matrimonial bond when the relationship is beyond repair would amount to mental cruelty. The Delhi High Court in the case of Sandhya Kumari v. Manish Kumar has held that where it is not possible for the husband and wife to live together accepted by indulgence in mutual bickering targeting each other mentally, insistence by one party to retain the matrimonial bond would be a relevant factor to decide the issue of cruelty for the simple reason that the obvious intention of the said spouse to continue with the marriage is not to enjoy the bliss thereof but to torment and traumatize the other. Hence continuing such a marriage would be like putting the spouse under an intense situation of mental cruelty.
