Hi,
My friend suffered from a fracture and was under bed rest. During this period, his wife was at her mother's home. My friend was requesting her to come to the marital home to take care of him through calls and sms. However his wife refused to come. My friend got irritated and send an sms to his wife stating she was not helping him when he was sick and told her to stay at her mother's home permanently. His wife took all her belongings from the marital home and left the marital home and applied for divorce under 13(ia) citing the sms as the reason for divorce.
My friend tried his best to stop her from leaving the marital home, however she remained adamant and never returned. My friend send emails, asked his relatives/friends to talk to his wife and bring her back, but she continues to remain adamant. My friend has also applied for RCR.
Can divorce be granted on the basis of a single sms?
