A significant portion of the book is dedicated to legal remedies available to husbands, including filing counter-cases, seeking protection from false allegations, applying for restitution, contesting maintenance, and approaching courts for relief against mental and physical harassment. Updated judgments from High Courts and the Supreme Court are included to illustrate evolving interpretations of cruelty and misuse of matrimonial laws.Through practical guidance, sample formats, procedural steps, and strategic insights, the book equips readers to approach matrimonial litigation with clarity and confidence. It addresses a sensitive and under-discussed area of law, promoting awareness of gender-neutral justice and advocating legal recourse for husbands facing genuine cruelty.
