Bombay High Court Annuls Marriage Due to Cerebral Palsy Non-Disclosure
A man and woman got married, but soon after, the man noticed health issues with his wife.
He found out she had cerebral palsy, a condition her family didn't reveal before the wedding.
The man sought a divorce because of this non-disclosure.
The court initially dismissed his request, but the High Court overturned that decision, annulling the marriage.
The court decided that the family hiding the wife's condition before marriage was wrong, giving the man grounds to end the marriage.

The ruling was due to non-disclosure of the wife's cerebral palsy before the wedding.
