Can a wife sue her spouse for emotional torture?

Tweet

I know that if I mean, "emotional distress" instead of "torture", then, yes, I believe that may be grounds for dissolution of the marriage. It may be difficult to prove, however. Conservative cultures which frown on divorce such as the India, do not easily accept other than severe "abusive" forms of emotional distress. For example if the husband asks his wife to clean the house everyday and cook dinner every night, that may not be grounds for annulment in the India. In the U.S., maybe, but not the Philippines. So what do u say is it possible in your country to sue husband on emotional torture basis??
