Hindu Marriage Act, 1956; Section 13- The desertion of the appellant at least from 2008 till the date of filing the divorce petition in 2013 continued without any reasonable cause. Therefore, a decree for divorce on the ground of desertion under Section 13(1)(ib) ought to have been passed. Thus, in our view, the High Court ought to have confirmed the decree of divorce on the ground of desertion. This is a case of a complete breakdown of marriage for last 16 years and more. (Para 14)
