The Delhi High Court said that the notion that only women suffer physical or mental cruelty in marital relations. In many cases this may be contrary to the harsh realities of life. The court said that men are also sometimes victims in marital relations and they have the same right to protection under the law as women. Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma made this comment while rejecting the anticipatory bail plea of the accused wife. She is accused of burning her husband by pouring boiling water mixed with chilli powder on him.
