In the case of Sirajmohmedkhan
Janmohamadkhan v. Haizunnisa Yasinkhan & Anr.
reported in (1981) 4 SCC 250, this Court stated that the
concept of legal cruelty changes according to the changes
and advancement of social concept and standards of
living. With the advancement of our social conceptions,
this feature has obtained legislative recognition, that a
second marriage is a sufficient ground for separate
residence and maintenance. Moreover, to establish legal
cruelty, it is not necessary that physical violence should
be used. Continuous ill-treatment, cessation of marital
intercourse, studied neglect, indifference on the part of
the husband, and an assertion on the part of the
husband that the wife is unchaste are all factors which
lead to mental or legal cruelty.
