Jharkhand HC Clarifies Divorce Grounds for Wife's Mental Illness

The Jharkhand High Court has addressed a legal query regarding divorce proceedings when a spouse suffers from mental illness. In its recent judgment, the court clarified that mental illness alone does not constitute a valid ground for divorce. The decision, reported by The Times of India, emphasizes that divorce must be based on irretrievable breakdown of marriage or other statutory grounds. The ruling serves as a precedent for similar cases across the state.
