Irretrievable breakdown of marriage made ground for divorce
By IANSThursday, June 10, 2010
NEW DELHI - The cabinet Thursday approved an amendment to the Hindu Marriage Act to make irretrievable breakdown of marriage an additional ground for divorce.
“This would provide safeguards to parties who file petitions for grant of divorce by mutual consent but who wilfully avoid coming to court thus causing harassment to the other party,” Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters after a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
She said the amendment would be effected through the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2010 which would be tabled in parliament.
