An important decision regarding the divorce of the couple has been handed down by the constitution bench of five judges of the Supreme Court. In accordance with Article 142, the Supreme Court has the power to dissolve a marriage on the grounds of “irretrievable breakdown of marriage”.
The Supreme Court declared on Monday that it is within its rights to dissolve a marriage on the grounds of an insurmountable rift between the spouses under Article 142 of the Constitution.
The SC made it plain that sending the parties to the Family Court, where they could have to wait for six to 18 months, is not necessary.
