Dhumal and his wife Major Sushma are doctors and she serves at the Armed Forces Medical College, Pune, while he is posted in Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The couple married on June 11, 1997 but Sushma moved to her parent&#8217;s place in Pune for delivery of their son Sudheer, born on August 16, 1999. Post-delivery she suffered a brain haemorrhage and was hospitalized. Dhumal&#8217;s parents came to see her and stayed over. His petition said she did not opt for spouse posting, and refused to join him, saying there was no better school for their autistic son. Dhumal filed for divorce in 2006, citing nine grounds for cruelty and desertion. The family court rejected his petition, saying they were not proved.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Dhumal&#8217;s advocate argued they have been staying separately for 12 years and their marriage had broken down irretrievably. But Sushma&#8217;s advocate said she wanted the marriage to survive for the &#8220;practical purpose&#8221; of bringing up Sudheer.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">&#8220;He has to be taken to the washroom every half hour.

He said Sushma&#8217;s father called Dhumal&#8217;s parents &#8216;pahadis&#8217; and left no occasion to humiliate and taunt Dhumal and his family. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>&#8220;To call somebody &#8216;pahadi&#8217; is like calling somebody &#8216;ghati&#8217;, which is indicating the geographical background but is derogatory,<\/em><\/span>&#8221; his lawyer said.<span style=\"color: #800000;text-decoration: underline\"><strong> &#8220;People are sensitive about such things,&#8221;<\/strong><\/span> remarked Justice Kanade.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Dhumal&#8217;s petition said his father-in-law not only called them &#8216;<span style=\"color: #800000;text-decoration: underline\"><strong>pahadis<\/strong><\/span>&#8216;, which is a<span style=\"color: #800000;text-decoration: underline\"><strong> &#8220;bad word&#8221;<\/strong><\/span> but also commented on their food habits, saying<span style=\"color: #800000;text-decoration: underline\"><strong> &#8220;they never get enough to eat&#8221;<\/strong><\/span>.
