Asked in Divorce
Divorce is governed by the same statute under which the marriage has been solemnized or registered or both. In most cases it can be filed contested if parties to the marriage do not agree to file a mutual agreed divorce petition. In case of irreparable breakdown of the marriage the SC has held that the cooling of period of 6 months after filing of the divorce petition can be waived off. But the district courts seldom follows this course. Hence the minimum period of divorce is 6 month which ordinarily goes to 1 year in case of divorce by mutual consent. Now if it is a contested divorce it is advisable that the spouse seek a order of judicial separation extending upto one year and thereafter file a divorce suit because then there is nothing left to be proved. But there is no embargo on filing a divorce suit if one year has passed after the marriage. ( under hindu law) Coming to compensation to husband there is nothing in law which precludes the economically weaker spouse to claim maintenance from the more well off. SC has held that in befitting circumstances the husband can claim maintenance from the wife. Bute the provision of remarriage and adulatory will be equally applicable in such cases as well.
