Mental cruelty: Know how a husband won a divorce battle in High Court as wife mocked his physical infirmity; Permanent alimony amount to be decided

The court upheld the family court's decision to grant the divorce. However, the High Court directed the wife to pursue alimony and Streedhan claims separately in family court under relevant sections of the Hindu Marriage Act.
