Delhi High Court has upheld a trial court's verdict granting divorce to a man on the grounds that his wife had denied him "conjugal bliss" for about two months after their marriage and had levelled unproved allegations of adultery.

The High Court observed. "But suffice would it be for us to highlight that the wife admitted that there was initially no sex between the couple. She pleaded the reason being her husband was living in adultery with a girl and hence it was he who initially did not consummate the marriage," 

"The version of the wife that her husband had an adulterous relationship has not been made good by her during her evidence. She could not name the girl. She did not depose to any fact wherefrom an adulterous relationship could be gathered," it noted.
