Granting bail to a 91-year-old man who was arrested for allegedly attacking his 88-year-old wife over her insult that he had illicit relations with other women, the Kerala High Court recently said that the woman loves her husband even now which is why she was watching him closely.

“The couple should know that age does not dim the light of love, it only makes it shine brighter,” the court observed.
