Can a judge divorce a wife based on the husband's admission that he beat her in a non-injurious manner, given that the beating occurred eight months ago and the wife claimed it was severe and injurious?

If a husband's harm to his wife is proven – such as severe beating – the judge may rule for divorce if the wife requests it. As for non-severe beating with justification, it does not establish her right to demand a divorce. The court will decide the matter based on the evidence presented to it.
