Supreme Court stays Delhi HC’s divorce verdict for Chef Kunal Kapur
In April, the Delhi High Court granted Kapur a divorce on the grounds of cruelty by his estranged wife, describing her conduct towards him as "devoid of dignity and empathy."
"In the light of the aforenoted facts of the present case, we find that the conduct of the respondent (wife) towards the appellant (husband) has been such that it is devoid of dignity and empathy towards him. When such is the nature of one spouse towards the other, it brings disgrace to the very essence of marriage and there exists no possible reason as to why he should be compelled to live while enduring the agony of living together," the high court order had said.
Kunal Kapur, who married in April 2008 and has a son born in 2012, alleged that his wife disrespected his parents and humiliated him. He claimed that in September 2016, she created a scene at his workplace during a MasterChef India shoot. Meanwhile, she accused Kunal of making false allegations to mislead the court.
Kapur got a restraining order and accused his wife of threatening to spread false rumors and make false complaints. He also claimed she physically assaulted him before a shoot. The High Court agreed that such harmful behavior by a spouse can be considered cruelty, supporting Kapur’s request for divorce.
