The law concerns much over the "cruelty" done by the husband against his wife. That does not mean that the husband alone do cruelties against the wife, and not the wife. Wives are also equally committing cruelties against their husbands with the connivance of their relatives and others. Here the earlier remain as an offence as per section 498A of IPC under the heading "Cruelty by husband or relatives of husband". But the later viz. cruelty by wife against husband does not come within the purview of Offences relating to Marriage under IPC. However "Cruelty" committed by either of the spouse against each other remains a good ground under the personal laws to claim dissolution of marriage (divorce). Even filing false case under section 498A IPC by wife to harass her husband and his family members for the sake of luring money is also a cruelty against husband, which is a very good ground for husband to claim divorce. Except for the purpose of claiming divorce, there is no direct penal provision in law alike section 498A, to protect the husband from the cruelty of his wife and to punish her.
Thus, this present book also revolves around the law relating to cruelty against husband and wife. The famous Author cum Advocate Mr. H.P.Gupta has divided this book into III Parts. In Part I he explains the CRUELTY AGAINST HUSBAND, in Part II he gives a detailed account on CRUELTY AGAINST WIFE and in Part III he elucidates MATRIMONIAL FRAUDS. He has cited numerous case laws taken from ALL INDIA LAW JOURNALS which would be very helpful for the legal practitioners as ready reference. In Part II, the chapters Proof in case of cruelty, Acquittal and Conviction in matter of cruelty, Maintenance and Cruelty are very informative and educative.
Very useful book for family court practitioners, mediators, family court litigants, counsellors, law students etc.
