1. The context in which the ideas of unsoundness of “mind” and “mental disorder” occur in the Section as grounds for dissolution of a marriage, require the assessment of the degree of the “mental disorder”. Its degree must be such that the spouse seeking relief cannot reasonably be expected to live with the other. All mental abnormalities are not recognised as grounds for grant of decree. If the mere existence of any degree of mental abnormality could justify dissolution of a marriage few marriages would, indeed, survive in law.

You can use the medical documents to support the pleadings for dissolution of marriage on the grounds of cruelty.
