The Telangana High Court has denied divorce and alimony to a woman, stating that there was no proof of her husband's impotency. The woman had filed for divorce on the grounds that her husband was impotent and unable to consummate their marriage. In addition to a divorce, she had also sought Rs 90 lakh in alimony, however, the Court denied her claim on both counts.

The High Court stated that the couple had a love marriage, and there were no medical records or other evidence to support the woman's claim of her husband's impotency. The Court emphasized that mere absence of sexual relations cannot be a grounds for divorce, and that the couple had lived together in India and the US prior to their marriage, and had a sexual relationship at that time.

The Court's decision highlights the burden of proof on the individual seeking divorce on the grounds of impotency. It underscores that sexual relations prior to marriage can complicate future claims of impotency in Indian courts.
