Mumbai high court in India has termed withholding sex to a spouse as a form of cruelty and can be a ground for ending the marriage. The decision has angered rights advocates , saying the ruling does not take into account other issues.
At the heart of the issue was a case that allowed a man to divorce his wife because they were not having enough sex.
Justice Kailash Gambhir announced the verdict, upholding a lower court’s ruling of divorce to a man having a “sex-starved marriage” as his wife refused to have sexual intercourse with him on the wedding night and reportedly having sexual intercourse with her husband between 10 to 15 times over the subsequent five months.
