The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (HMA) has specified certain grounds required for the plea of divorce. Cruelty as a ground for divorce was inserted after the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Act, 1976.

A. Dear client,

Making false allegations against someone is considered a punishable offence as per the law in force in India. The High Court has the authority to quash a false complaint filed against you, so you can file a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to do so.
