‘Classic case of misuse’: Delhi court sets aside conviction in domestic cruelty case; flags ‘contradictions’

A Delhi court overturned a man’s conviction for cruelty to his wife, citing inconsistencies in her claims and a delayed complaint. The judge questioned why she waited two years to report abuse allegedly starting from their marriage day. The court also found it questionable that she would risk her child’s safety and attempt reconciliation if her husband was truly abusive.
