I don't think it comes under cruelty. There might be some differences with the deceased father in law. It is her personal thing whether she has to attend or not. She has not created any mental torture in the family.

It certainly is an embarassment. If the behaviour amounts to 'cruelty' for seeking a divorce depends upon the facts and circumstances, which a competent court alone would be able to judge.

it does not amount to cruelty . the absence of daughter in law at her father in law funeral would certainly raise eyebrows and would not be easily condoned .but the said solitary incident would not be a ground for divorce .

Cruelty is not a word defined under law but certainly such acts do create a cruelty in the mind of husband and can definitely be regarded as one of the acts of cruelty on the part of the wife.

Cruelty is very important ground for Divorce. It it not defined in Law, Judgement and citations pinpoint what action amount to Cruelty.
Non attendance of Funeral alone cannot justify cruelty grd for Divorce, It adds to other acts in support, to justify desertion and cruelty.
Indian Courts are very liberal to ignore such causes. So not to think of getting Divorce in India on such grd.
