The court described the allegation of cruelty by Omar Abdullah against his wife as vague as it noted that he failed to prove any act of cruelty, whether physical or mental, allegedly inflicted on him by his wife.
The family court at Delhi’s Patiala House Court complex dismissed his plea seeking divorce on the grounds of cruelty on August 30, 2016. He had filed the plea in 2013.
