For those who want to opt out of a bad marriage, Monday\u2019s Supreme Court ruling on divorce will be seen as a good move. Leaning on the \u201cguiding spirit\u201d of Article 142(1) of the Constitution to do \u201ccomplete justice\u201d in any \u201ccause or matter\u201d, a Constitution Bench said it could use this extraordinary <strong>discretionary (Having or using the ability to act or decide according to your own discretion or judgment) <\/strong>power to grant divorce by mutual consent to couples trapped in bitter marriages. It also aims to spare couples the \u201c<strong>agony (Intense feelings of suffering; acute mental or physical pain)<\/strong> and misery\u201d of waiting six to 18 months for a local court to <strong>annul (Declare invalid) <\/strong>it, as stipulated under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Bench, headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, observed that the law of divorce, built predominantly on assigning fault, fails to serve broken marriages. It pointed out that if a marriage is <strong>wrecked (Smash or break forcefully) <\/strong>beyond hope, public interest lies in recognising this fact, not upholding a \u2018married\u2019 status regardless. The Court said it could use Article 142 to quash pending criminal or legal proceedings, be it over domestic violence or dowry, against the man or woman. Continuing in this <strong>strain (Difficulty that causes worry or emotional tension)<\/strong>, the Bench said the Supreme Court could grant divorce on the grounds of an \u201cirretrievable breakdown of marriage\u201d if the \u201cseparation is <strong>inevitable (Invariably occurring or appearing) <\/strong>and the damage is irreparable\u201d. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, irretrievable breakdown of marriage is not yet a ground for divorce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its judgment, there was a word of caution that the grant of divorce would not be a \u201cmatter of right, but a discretion which is to be exercised with great care\u2026 keeping in mind that \u2018complete justice\u2019 is done to both parties.\u201d Several factors would be considered by the Supreme Court before invoking Article 142 in matrimonial cases, including duration of marriage, period of <strong>litigation (a legal proceeding in a court)<\/strong>, the time the couple has stayed apart, the nature of pending cases, and attempts at <strong>reconciliation (The reestablishing of cordial relations)<\/strong>. The Court will have to be satisfied that the mutual agreement to divorce was not under <strong>coercion (The act of compelling by force of authority)<\/strong>. In India, while divorcees have doubled in number over the past two decades, the incidence of divorce is still at 1.1%, with those in urban areas making up the largest proportion. But the divorce numbers do not tell the whole story; there are many women, particularly among the poor, who are abandoned or <strong>deserted (Leave someone who needs or counts on you)<\/strong>. Census 2011 revealed that the population which is \u201cseparated\u201d is almost triple the divorced number. In a country which is largely poor, where gender discrimination is <strong>rife (Most frequent or very common) <\/strong>and many women are still not financially independent, the Court\u2019s stress on \u201ccare and caution\u201d and not to rush into a quick divorce must be welcomed. After all, marriage equality is not a reality for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to update your vocabulary on an ongoing basis?
