Court relief has finally come for a 50-year-old man from Mumbai who had to spend days on the terrace of his building, bus stops and guest houses as his wife denied him entry to the flat he had bought.


The woman, a 51-year-old doctor, suspected her husband of having an affair with a Chinese woman. The family court granted him divorce after condemning the suspecting wife's act as a cruelty to him.


The couple got married in 1986, but a few years later, differences cropped up between them. They have a 24-year-old son and are residents of Mulund. The man filed for a divorce petition in 2011. According to the petition, around 1 pm on July 10, 2009, his son informed him the police were at the door looking for him. The police asked him to accompany them as his wife had filed a complaint. At the police station, he was made to sit for hours, before being asked to proceed to another station. Harassed by the police on the basis of his wife’s allegations and upon being denied entry into his house, he spent 10 days in a bus stop, braving torrential rains.


In the 37-page judgment, principal judge Dr Laxmi Rao held that all these were sufficient grounds that amount to cruelty. “On the wife's insistence the police took him away and made him hours in police station. He was compelled to leave the house with just some of his certificates. He suffered great humiliation besides loss of shelter,” the court said.


At 11.30 pm, his wife returned and allowed their son to enter the house, but refused entry to him. The man requested his son to give him a pillow and blanket. After spending 10 days at bus stops and guest houses, he took a house on rent for stay.
