About the Book

“Selected Cases on Cruelty Against Husband” is an authoritative collection of important judgments from Indian courts that explore, define, and elaborate the concept of “cruelty” against husbands in matrimonial disputes. While matrimonial cruelty is traditionally associated with women’s protection, this book highlights the emerging recognition in Indian law of husbands as potential victims of cruelty within marriage.

This volume brings together decisions where courts have considered:

• False criminal complaints (including misuse of Section 498A IPC).

• Malicious prosecution and harassment by wives and their families.

• Mental cruelty through threats, insults, and defamation.

• Physical assaults on husbands.

• Desertion and refusal to cohabit as forms of cruelty.

• Counter-claims in divorce and maintenance proceedings.

? Full text of landmark and illustrative judgments.
