Bow down to your wives' diktat: SC
New Delhi:
If you want to buy matrimonial peace just do whatever your wife says. This is not a piece of advice from a marriage counsellor, rather it is from the Supreme Court.
A vacation bench of justices Markandeya Katju and Deepak Verma observed: “Bibi joh boltee hai woh sunno (listen to whatever your wife says), otherwise it could land you in trouble. Because if you do not listen to her, you will suffer the consequences. “Hum sab bhogi hai (we are all sufferers),” the bench said in a lighter vein. The bench further said a husband has to accept the suggestion of a wife irrespective of the fact whether it is sensible or not.
This interesting suggestion from the Apex Court evolved on Tuesday during a matrimonial case involving an Air Force official Deepak Kumar who complained that his estranged wife Manisha had ruined him and his family by implicating them in false criminal cases, including sodomy. The couple got married 17 years ago but matrimonial disputes surfaced between the two soon after the marriage. A district court in Chandigarh dismissed Deepak’s plea for divorce as Manisha opposed it, but a single judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court granted decree of judicial separation.
On an appeal from Manisha, a division bench granted the decree of divorce as the marriage “had irretrievably broken down” besides directing Rs 10 lakh maintenance amount from Deepak to her. Aggrieved by the High Court’s order Manisha filed an appeal in the Apex Court challenging the decree of divorce. Deepak’s counsel argued that Manisha even though had implicated her husband and his family in a host of criminal cases was yet opposing the divorce despite the marriage breaking down irretrievably. The vacation bench, however, posted the matter for further hearing to July last week as there was no urgency in dealing with the matter. PTI
Your honor..My wife says rob a bank to pay for her jewelery and makeup...What should I do? Follow her diktat?
Can you just follow the law please. Stop pontificating about relationships. None of your bloody business. Our constitution says men and women are equal. You have just ruined a mans life using your power. Isnt that abuse of power? Do you call that justice?
If the delay is extraordinary then it should have been taken up immediately .
If it has taken 17 years then Markandeya Katju should have personaaly evaluated and brought all those who caused such an inordinate daly.
Justice is already denied . but should atleast relief is given
There is a great necessity to ensure sustainable harmonious relations amongst airforce couples in particular.If a pilot flies an aeroplane after a skirmish with his wife he endangers a costly govt aircraft. Similarly if a technician is upset the consequence of a servicing error of aircraft could be catastrophic.A service unit lives like a joint family and must sort out matrimonial issues amongst their members.
