Further, abusing the in-laws and stopping the husband from meeting his parents would also amount to cruelty. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court while taking note off all the evidence observed that the act of pulling back the husband mid-way from his brother&#39;s marriage ,whereby he was forced to leave the marriage is also an unnatural cruel act and such act would bring down the image and the prestige of a family in the eyes of public, which may also amount to cruelty. Further, the wife has made void allegation of illicit relationship of the husband with a lady outside the marriage and even made a complaint to the Chief Minister to transfer the husband from a particular posting in the office with allegation of illicit relations. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court took note of the ruling in <i>Samar Ghosh<\/i> v. <i>Jaya Ghosh<\/i> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/EIecIE8t\">(2007) 4 SCC 511<\/a>, wherein the court held that no uniform standard can ever be laid down for guidance and defined a non-exhaustive list of instances that constitutes mental cruelty.
