Therefore, she along with their daughter had to leave the company of the appellant and stay with her father. The appellant also came to her parental house, but later he left her alone. He was a drunkard and he also instigated her brother to drink and therefore, she had to stop him from coming to her father’s house and stop all connections with him. She categorically denied that she refused to wear the sindur and alleged that the same is a concocted allegation against her by the appellant. She admitted that the father and uncle of the appellant visited the house of her father once to discuss of the marriage and asked the respondent to give divorce. According to her, the appellant never tried to contact her and never wished their minor child, even in her birthdays or other festivals. According to the respondent, she tried to stay with her in-laws, but she was misbehaved and tortured to such an extent that she was forced to leave her matrimonial home and as such her desertion was not willful and hence she prayed for dismissal of the suit.
