Wife not living with husband to pursue career not desertion: SC

The Supreme Court observed that a woman's pursuit of her career can't be treated as "cruelty" or "desertion". It was hearing a divorce case involving a dentist-wife who chose to continue her practice in Ahmedabad instead of staying with her Army officer-husband at remote postings. "We're well into the 21st century," SC said, calling lower courts' order granting divorce "regressive".
