The Madras High Court on Tuesday said it was "unfortunate" that there was no provision like the Domestic Violence Act for a husband to proceed against his wife for lodging a false complaint.
A bench of Justice S Vaidyanathan made the remark while considering a writ petition.
The court further said, “Husband and wife must realise that ego and intolerance are like footwear and should be left out of their house when they enter the home. Else, the child/children will have to face a miserable life.”
Justice Vaidyanathan said that marriages are "sacramental" events in a person's life and should not be broken at the drop of the hat.
