Sir, in India, hiding mental health treatment from a spouse may be considered a ground for divorce under the "fraud" provision in the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. If your friend’s wife can prove that the non-disclosure significantly affected their relationship, it could lead to legal complications. However, your friend can seek legal counsel to present their side, and mediation may help resolve the issue without resorting to divorce.
