“Dissolving Marriage: Understanding ‘Relative Impotency’ and Legal Implications”

Bombay High Court Declares Marriage Invalid Due To Husband’s “Relative Impotency

In a recent ruling, the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court dissolved the union of a young couple, citing the husband’s condition of “relative impotency” as the cause for their inability to consummate their marriage. Justices Vibha Kankanwadi and S G Chapalgaonkar emphasized the emotional and mental distress experienced by the couple, labeling it as an issue that demanded attention.

The court highlighted the distinction between “relative impotency” and the more common form of impotence, clarifying that while the husband may be physically capable of intercourse, he was unable to perform with his spouse. This condition, the court noted, can stem from various physical and psychological factors.

Acknowledging the sensitive nature of the case, the court empathized with the couple’s ordeal, recognizing the frustration they endured. Initially, the husband attributed the lack of consummation to his wife, only later admitting his own condition to avoid societal stigma.

The marriage, which lasted a mere 17 days before separation, remained unconsummated, with the wife citing emotional and physical disconnection between them. Despite initial attempts to shift blame, the husband eventually conceded to his condition of relative impotency, expressing a desire to avoid the broader label of impotence.

The annulment of the marriage by the High Court serves as a resolution to the couple’s predicament, providing closure to a chapter marked by unfulfilled expectations and mutual dissatisfaction.
