HC grants divorce to coupl with personality disorder

May 03, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:47 am IST - MADURAI:

The Madras High Court Bench has confirmed a divorce decree granted by a Family Court here on the basis of a psychiatrist’s report that both the husband and the wife were suffering from personality disorder and hence there was no possibility of reunion.

In a judgement reserved here and delivered in the Principal Seat of the High Court in Chennai, Justices V. Ramasubramanian and N. Kirubakaran dismissed an appeal preferred by the woman challenging the 2012 decree and held that the couple had caused mental cruelty on each other.

The judges pointed out that there was no love lost between the couple ever since their marriage in 2001 leading to the woman spending most of her time in the parental home.
