New Delhi, Dec. 10 -- The Supreme Court has ordered a man to live separately from his parents and with his wife and daughter, observing that excessive influence and interference from his parents appeared to be the root cause of marital conflict. The court said that the arrangement was necessary to help the couple rebuild their relationship. A bench of justices JB Pardiwala and KV Viswanathan, in an order passed last week, noted that "the husband is in complete control of his parents and is unable to take any independent decision," which had resulted in the wife feeling ignored along with their nine-year-old daughter. "Prima facie, the root cause of disputes in the matrimonial life of the couple seems to be the interference of the parents of the husband," held the bench after interacting with all family members. "The husband, wife and their daughter shall start residing separately on the first floor of the house. This is our order. The husband cannot say that he would not shift to the first floor," it directed. The direction came after the court held a detailed interaction with the husband, wife, the husband's mother, the wife's parents, and their daughter, in the committee room of the Supreme Court. The court noted that the child aged nine and studying in Class 4, appeared to be a "bright girl". The man was represented by advocate Padmesh Mishra. Emphasising reconciliation, the bench ordered that the arrangement of separate residence must continue for at least three months....
