XTQ v XTR

A wife filed for judicial separation on the ground of the husband's unreasonable behaviour after a 20-year marriage with no children, with the wife residing in Singapore and the husband in the United States. The husband contested the proceedings and had earlier unsuccessfully applied for a stay on the ground that India was the more appropriate forum. The Family Court granted the judicial separation, finding the husband's behaviour — including financial neglect, lack of emotional support, and misleading the wife about his career and finances — was such that the wife could not reasonably be expected to continue living with him.
