They have hidden the facts and it is cruelity. I found nothing wrong in
this order.

*Times of India Subject:*Surat man granted divorce as wife hid
blindness in one eye
A family court in Surat granted divorce to a 23-yearold sari trader,
ruling that he was subject to cruelty by his wife, who hid the fact
that she had no vision in one eye and threatened him after he found
out. After their wedding, the husband took his wife to an
ophthalmologist after she fell. It was then that he learned she was
effectively blind in one eye. When he sought to part ways, she
threatened to implicate him in a false case and to even kill herself.
The court accepted the husband’s suit on grounds of cruelty and
granted a divorce decree under Section 13(1)(i-a) of the Hindu
Marriage Act.
The woman’s family initially refused to accept that she had no vision
in one eye. They got her examined at an Ahmedabad eye hospital in
April 2022. The doctor there told the woman’s family and her husband
that her left eye number was 17 diopters and there was no chance of
her regaining vision in it.
The woman’s family finally admitted to the husband that they hid this
fact, as she was not getting marriage proposals because of it.
The petitioner then sought to end the marriage at which his wife
threatened to frame him and refused the divorce.
The court held the man was subjected to immense harassment by his
wife’s hostile conduct. The court referred to various judgments of SC
and high court before ruling in the man’s favour under the provision
of the Hindu Marriage Act dealing with cruelty.
