Under which article of the Constitution of India, the Supreme Court has the discretion to dissolve the marriage by passing a decree of divorce by mutual consent, without being bound by the procedural requirement to move the second motion?
Correct
Option (c) is correct
Explanation:
Recently, the Supreme Court held that its extraordinary discretion under Article 142 of the Constitution can be used to do “complete justice” for couples trapped in bitter marriages by granting them divorce by mutual consent, sparing them the “misery” of waiting for six to 18 months for a local court to declare the annulment final.
The judgement is significant as irretrievable breakdown of marriage is not yet a ground for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act.
