The Delhi High Court set aside a Family Court order denying waiver of the mandatory one-year waiting period for mutual consent divorce. A bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Renu Bhatnagar held that forcing a non-consummated marriage causes hardship.
The Supreme Court dissolved a couple’s marriage by mutual consent, urging them to shed egos and focus on their daughter’s well-being. The husband will pay Rs 50,000 monthly for the child’s upkeep.
