Husband’s illicit relationship by itself is not cruelty: Madras high court

Madras high court ruled that a husband’s illicit relationship is not sufficient for cruelty under Section 498A. This ruling came from a case involving a woman who committed suicide with her child. The court noted that more evidence is required to establish cruelty beyond mere allegations of an affair. The trial court had acquitted the husband due to insufficient evidence linking him to dowry harassment.
