After marriage, petitioner came to know about unstable mind of her husband due to which he was having sexual disorder and he was unable to cohabitate. Later on, the petitioner was being subjected to physical assault and mental cruelty and ousted from her matrimonial home. It is further submitted that the matter was referred to mediation before the Member Secretary, J.H.A.L.S.A., Ranchi but no settlement has been arrived between the partes. It is further submitted that no case has been filed for maintenance rather the husband has filed the above M.T.S.

It is further submitted that economic and health conditions of the petitioner are severely compromised. Petitioner is unable to meet essential expenses related to travel, food or attending the ongoing case before the learned Court of Principal District and Sessions Judge, Simdega, therefore, it is prayed that the said M.T.S.
