Supreme Court Judgement on Mutual Consent Divorce
There is various judgement passed by supreme court on divorce procedure but The Amardeep Singh Vs Harveen Kaur case is a landmark judgment by the Supreme Court of India regarding
mutual consent divorce. This is the one of the recent landmark judgements passed by Supreme Court in the development of family law, which addressed the question of whether the six-month waiting period required by section 13(B)(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, for motions to grant divorces based on mutual consent must be observed or can be relaxed in exceptional circumstances.
- The section requires that after filing a petition for divorce by mutual consent, the couple must wait for six months before the court can pass a decree of divorce.
- The Supreme Court held that the waiting period was not mandatory but directory, and the court could exercise its discretion to waive the waiting period in appropriate cases.
- The court also observed that the six-month waiting period was intended to give the parties a chance to reconsider their decision and reconcile, but if there was no possibility of reconciliation, the waiting period would be a futile exercise.
- The court further clarified that the waiver of the waiting period should be done on a case-by-case basis, and the court must satisfy itself that the parties have genuinely resolved their differences and are not seeking a divorce under any duress or coercion.
