Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has granted divorce to a 44-old-woman whose plea for separation from her abusive husband was rejected by a family court.
Hearing the woman who told the court that the husband who is living in India with the money she sends from the UAE had shown any emotional ties, said the Court that the wife cannot be treated as a cash cow.
The family court had rejected her divorce plea on the basis that she had have nothing to prove her allegation of cruelty from her husband.

The couple, who were married in 1999 in Karnataka, faced several financial issues, resulting in the wife moving to the UAE in 2008 to work in a bank to earn a living for the family. Using her earnings, she paid the debts of her husband's family and also invested in a small business for him in the UAE – which he abandoned after a short period, according to the plea.
The woman had submitted relevant documents of her money transactions to her husband that had strengthened her case against the husband.
