In Madhya Pradesh High Court at Gwalior, a divorce case took an unusual turn when a woman claimed her husband’s sister was his ‘second wife’ to secure a decree. The husband has challenged the ex parte order.
The Allahabad High Court Yesterday (29 Feb) urged the Union of India to consider amending the Hindu Marriage Act to include irretrievable breakdown of marriages as a divorce ground, citing societal changes. It granted a divorce decree to a doctor, noting his wife’s prolonged absence as mental cruelty. The court also directed relevant authorities to consider this matter.
