Jharkhand HC Rules Mental Disorder Insufficient for Divorce Claims

The Jharkhand High Court has ruled that mental disorder alone cannot justify divorce. To dissolve a marriage, a spouse must demonstrate that the mental illness hinders reasonable cohabitation. This decision came after a husband's appeal was dismissed due to lack of medical evidence supporting his claims about his wife's mental health. The court upheld the family court's ruling, emphasizing the need for substantial proof in divorce cases.
