1 thought on “PETITION FOR A JUDICIAL SEPARATION BY REASON OF CRUELTY

  1. While taking advantage of law, if someone (petitioner)put a fake case against defendent under Section 24,what should do?
    The attitude of petitioner is to get money and property. No inclination towards husband’s family and petitioner’s parents encouraging her to obstruct money.
    Defendent helped financially to the petitioner & their parents before & after marriage though they didn’t respect. They assumen that the defendent is innoscent and it is very easy to get money and failing which petitiener put a case for jurdicial separation. So that she can get atleast maintenance charge.
    Our indian law is fabours to wemen and such cases what men should do?
