Parveen Mehta vs Inderjit Mehta (2002)

This case further clarified the concept of cruelty, emphasising that it must be assessed based on the cumulative conduct of the parties and its impact on the petitioner. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant a divorce based on the wife's behaviour, which constituted both physical and mental cruelty.

This case is significant in reaffirming the broad interpretation of cruelty and its impact on individual well-being in matrimonial disputes.
