The trial court had granted divorce to the man, who got married in February 2002, on grounds of desertion and cruelty.
In its verdict, the bench noted that though the woman had levelled allegations of adultery against the man, she could not prove it by way of any evidence.
“But suffice would it be for us to highlight that the wife admitted that there was initially no sex between the couple. She pleaded the reason being her husband was living in adultery with a girl and hence it was he who initially did not consummate the marriage,” the high court observed.
