Rajamannar, C.J.-We agree with the learned Judge that the petition filed by the appellant for dissolution of his marriage with the respondent should be dismissed. But it should not be understood that we agree with all that is contained in the judgment under appeal. Assuming that the respondent, the wife, was guilty of the several acts mentioned by the learned trial Judge in paragraph 14 of his judgment, in our opinion that would not suffice to bring the case within clause (d) of section 5(1) of Madras Act VI of 1949, namely, “has been guilty of such cruelty as to render it unsafe for the petitioner to live with the other party”. We are prepared to say that the appellant finds it most unpleasant, if not miserable, to live with the respondent. We will go even further and say that he finds it impossible to live with her. But that by itself would not justify a finding that the respondent is guilty of such cruelty as to render it unsafe for the appellant to live with her. It may be that on occasions she has even used physical violence ; but it is obvious that the appellant’s life was never endangered. In our opinion the appellant has not made out a case which would entitle him to the relief on the ground mentioned in clause (d) of section 5(1) of the Act and therefore his petition must be dismissed. The appeal is dismissed. P.R.N. ----- Appeal dismissed.
