Married in Rajouri, case filed in Jammu: why the high court let the divorce suit stay

A Jammu and Kashmir high court addressed the territorial jurisdiction of divorce suits amid allegations of cruelty. The wife’s application for divorce was initially challenged by her husband based on the location of their marriage. The court found that part of the cause of action arose within its jurisdiction due to claims of cruelty. The husband’s petition to transfer the case was dismissed for lacking merit.
