My sister got married a couple of months ago. Sadly, she was recently diagnosed with cancer. Her in-laws are now saying they want a divorce, claiming her illness as grounds. Is this legally possible in India?

No, under Indian law, a spouse’s illness cannot be used as grounds for divorce. The Hindu Marriage Act, which governs most marriages in India, only allows divorce based on specific grounds like adultery, cruelty, desertion, or incurable mental illness. Cancer is not considered a valid reason for divorce.
