G.V.N.Kameswara Rao vs. G.Jabilli (SC) 
(2002) 2 SCC 296 

 

 
Whether acts constitute cruelty may be assessed having regard to the status of the parties in social life, their customs, traditions and other similar circumstances.
 

 

 
 

The court has to come to a conclusion whether the acts committed by the counter-petitioner amount to cruelty, and it is to be assessed having regard to the status of the parties in social life, their customs, traditions and other similar circumstances. Having regard to the sanctity and importance of marriages in a community life, the court should consider whether the conduct of the counter-petitioner is such that it has become intolerable for the petitioner to suffer any longer and to live together is impossible, and then only the court can find that there is cruelty on the part of the counter-petitioner. This is to be judged not from a solitary incident, but on an overall consideration of all relevant circumstances."
