filing divorce petition by husband
10-Jun-2026 (In Divorce Law)
I am filing divorce on mental cruelty ground. And there are 14-15 instances. I put all details in the draft. The lawyer is saying if you put all it will backfire on you. The opponent lawyer will ask you many questions and trap you. Better limit it to 2 para only. My question: 1 divorce is caused by many things. If all are true why should I fear? 2 how can judge verdict without knowing all details?
Mental cruelty is usually established by the cumulative effect of several acts and circumstances, not necessarily by a single incident. If the pleaded facts are true, relevant, and capable of proof, there is no reason to exclude them merely to reduce the length of the petition. However, pleadings should be precise and confined to material facts, as every allegation may be tested in cross-examination. The court determines the issue on the basis of the entire course of conduct proved by evidence, not on the number of paragraphs in the petition.

You are absolutely correct. If the events are true, and your pleadings are based on true facts, then a rapid 1000 questions cannot demolish your case. Ultimately the truth wins. And it is always advisable to put forth all facts which are in your favour. If the grounds are made out for grant of divorce, then the Court would definitely grant a decree of divorce.
