Husband's Inability To Develop Sexual Relations With Wife Is Generally Not Known To Even Nearest Relatives: Bombay High Court Quashes FIR
Live LawThe Bombay High Court recently quashed a First Information Report lodged against two maternal uncles and aunts of a man at the behest of his wife, on the ground that they got him married to the complainant woman, despite knowing that he could not develop physical relations with any woman. A division bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Rajesh Patil said whether a husband suffers from such a medical condition or not, is usually known to himself and generally such information is not known even to the nearest relatives. The judges noted that the maternal uncles and aunts of the man in the instant case, did not force or coerce the complainant to get married to him. However, the judges, quashed the FIR as against the two maternal uncles and aunties observing that they had no knowledge of the condition of the husband and that they lived separately in Solapur while the husband and his family lived in Solapur City.
