She used to treat him with cruelty and even used filthy language in the presence of his friends and relatives. She also threatened to implicate him in a false dowry case and he was constrained to file a divorce petition under Sec. 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act against her but she did not put in appearance deliberately in that case which resulted in dissolution of marriage between them vide ex parte judgement and decree dtd. 19/7/2011.
