Bombay High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>A Division Bench comprising of A.A. Sayed and S.C. Gupte, JJ. allowed an appeal filed against the judgment of the Family Court whereby it had dismissed the appellant-husband’s\u00a0divorce petition filed under Section 13(1)(ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.<\/p>\n

The husband’s case was that his wife had deserted him for more than 20 years when she left the home and they have been living separately since. The family court dismissed the divorce petition filed by the husband holding that the separation was at the instance of the husband. Moreover, it was held that there was no animus deserendi\u00a0or the intention to bring cohabitation permanently to an end on the part of the wife. Aggrieved thereby, the husband filed the present appeal.<\/p>\n

The High Court perused the record and noted that the parties were living separately for 20 years. Though there was a dispute as to the reason why the wife left the home, the wife’s conduct thereafter suggested that there was absolutely no intention on her part to resume cohabitation at any time. The Court was of the view that there was animus deserendi on her part at least with reference to subsequent events. As explained by the High Court, “Animus deserendi\u00a0or intention to bring cohabitation permanently to an end is nothing but the opposite of intention to resume cohabitation. If there is no intention at all to resume cohabitation for a reasonably long period, there could be said to be intention to bring cohabitation on an end. How much long a reasonably long period would be is a matter of inference to be drawn from the facts and circumstances of each case. But surely twenty years is, in any event, a reasonably\u00a0long period. If there is no attempt on the part of the deserting spouse to resume cohabitation for twenty years after the initial\u00a0separation, even if one were to grant that the original separation did not have the element of animus deserendi, there could be said to be presence of such animus afterwards.” Observing that there was no hope for any revival of marriage, the Court allowed the appeal and granted a decree of divorce on grounds of separation.
