In such a case, seek medical help or adopt a child, says Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has decried the tendency of husbands harassing or taunting childless wives as if the latter alone are responsible for not begetting a child and sometimes driving them to commit suicide.
A Bench of Justice Markandey Katju and Justice C.K. Prasad said: “It is natural that everyone wants children, but if a woman does not have a child that does not mean that she should be insulted or harassed. In such a situation, the best course would be to take medical help, and if that fails, to adopt a child. Experience has shown that an adopted child gives as much happiness to the adoptive parents as any natural child does.”
