Summary: The Petitioner, CKM, presented to this court her divorce petition seeking orders for dissolution of her marriage to the Respondent, BM and custody, care and control of the only child of the marriage, KM, aged 2 years and 10 months. It was the Petitioner’s evidence that the Respondent had made their house help pregnant and beat CKM mercilessly. It is my finding that the conduct of the Respondent amounts to cruelty and constitutes a ground for dissolving the marriage. Accordingly, I pronounce a decree of divorce and hereby dissolve the marriage between Petitioner and the Respondent on the ground of cruelty on the part of the Respondent.
