The Calcutta High Court ruled that infertility of a woman cannot be a valid ground for seeking divorce. The Court also underscored that asking for divorce by mutual consent from one’s wife who is in a traumatic situation for having developed primary infertility amounts to mental cruelty within the definition of Section 498A of the IPC.

The reason of infertility is not a ground for divorce. There are several options to become parents. A spouse has to be understanding in these circumstances as it is the other, who can help one to regain her/his mental, physical and emotional strength. To be able to face the world, the society in general, braverly together.
