Better half becomes bitter half in marriage if issues not resolved between spouses: HC
The institution of marriage is quite paradoxical and if the issues between spouses are not resolved quickly, the better half becomes a bitter half, the Delhi High Court has observed.
The High Court said one of the most beautiful relationships of humans, that of a husband and wife, becomes one of the most terrible when things go wrong in a matrimonial alliance.
Justice Vimal Kumar Yadav made the observations while allowing a man’s appeal against a trial court’s judgment sentencing him to three years of imprisonment for trying to kill his wife by pouring Baygon spray in her mouth.
The High Court acquitted Nafe Singh in the case, saying the prosecution’s case lacked cogent evidence about the intention and knowledge as contemplated in Section 307 of the IPC.
It is highly unsafe to act upon the kind of shaky evidence brought on record, the court said while granting the benefit of doubt to the man.
The High Court, in its August 24 verdict, said, “The institution of marriage is quite paradoxical and a world of extremities. The best, in no time, becomes worst if not handled carefully. The better-half becomes the bitter-half if issues are not taken care of and resolved as soon as possible.”
It further said, “One of the most beautiful relationships of humans, that is of a husband and wife, becomes one of the most terrible when things go wrong in a matrimonial alliance.
