During a transfer petition hearing related to a matrimonial dispute, the Supreme Court made an observation on Wednesday, suggesting that divorces appear to be predominantly associated with love marriages.
Justice BR Gavai and Justice Sanjay Karol comprised the bench for the hearing. In response to the counsel’s disclosure that the couple had a love marriage, Justice Gavai commented, “It seems that most divorces stem from love marriages.”
Despite the husband’s objection, the Court proposed mediation as a possible resolution, citing a recent judgment that allowed divorce without the spouse’s consent. Consequently, the bench ordered for mediation to take place.
