My wife and I are Hindus, married for eight years under the Hindu Marriage Act. She left me five years ago and now wants a divorce, claiming I’ve been mentally harassing her. After receiving the divorce notice, I filed for her return, and both cases are being heard together. I deny everything she says, and have challenged her lawyer to show proof of this alleged harassment. In court, I keep saying I still love her and have no complaints against her. What evidence can she use to prove her case?

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, your wife can prove mental cruelty through evidence like witness statements, medical reports, recordings, emails, or social media posts showing your behavior. Since you’re denying the claims, the court will likely rely on the overall evidence presented by both sides to determine if mental cruelty occurred.
