Wife's Pursuit Of Career Can't Be Branded Cruelty Just Because It Hurt Husband's Sentiments :
Supreme Court In a strongly worded judgment on gender equality within marriage, the Supreme Court on Tuesday held that branding a wife's pursuit of her professional ambitions as matrimonial cruelty merely because it may have hurt the sentiments of her husband or in-laws reflects a deeply regressive mindset incompatible with modern constitutional values. “To brandish the effort of the wife to pursue her own career goals as acts of cruelty, as the same may have hurt the sentiments of the husband or the in-laws, is highly objectionable and deplorable in the era where the society proudly talks of women empowerment,” observed a bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta.
