The appellant tendered himself for fertility analysis where the linear movement of sperm was found actively good. The appellant suffered mental, physical and economical loss in the aforesaid process. However, instead of understanding the pain and grief of the appellant, the respondent tried to put pressure upon him to part his share from the joint family property and get it transferred in her favour. The respondent compelled the appellant to transfer Rs.5,00,000.00 which he handed over to her father and got a sale deed registered for a piece of land at Simrahi Bazar in her name.

The respondent has deserted the appellant without reasonable cause and without the consent and has extorted the earnings of the appellant and all the ornaments gifted by the appellant to the respondent has been handed over to the parents of the respondent for ulterior motive. The marriage of the respondent was solemnized with the appellant on false representation and fraud as the respondent and her parents had knowledge of the fact of the sexual and the productive disability of the respondent and now after 15 years of marriage when respondent knew the fact of inability to conceive and to give birth to any child, she has become violent against the appellant and used to abuse and assault upon the appellant making the life of the appellant miserable.

The matrimonial relation between the appellant and respondent has already irretrievably broken down and there is no hope of restoration of their conjugal life. Hence, the divorce petition was filed for dissolution of marriage between the parties
