NOT TAKING TREATMENT FOR MENTAL ISSUES TO BRING PEACE IN FAMILY AMOUNTS TO CRUELTY TO SPOUSE: KERALA High Court While upholding a divorce decree, the Court recently observed that not taking treatment for mental issues in order to bring out a peaceful and harmonious family atmosphere, amounts to cruelty to the persons at the receiving end i.e., the Spouse. A bench of Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque and Justice Sophy Thomas dismissed the wife's appeal as it came to the conclusion that the appellant was treating her husband with cruelty both physical and mental, and in the year 2005, she had deserted him.
