Taunting wife as a barren woman doesn't amount to cruelty: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court said calling a woman a "barren woman" over childlessness is "insensitive and reprehensible", but by itself did not satisfy the ingredients of cruelty under Section 498-A. The court said this while hearing a petition of a husband challenging a January 17, 2023, summoning order passed in a complaint filed by his wife.
