Hindu marriages sacred, cannot be dissolved like contracts: Allahabad High Court
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has reiterated that Hindu marriages are sacred and cannot be dissolved like contracts. The court observed that legal dissolution can only occur in limited circumstances and must be supported by evidence from both parties involved.
A division bench of Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh and Justice Donadi Ramesh made this observation while allowing an appeal filed by a woman challenging the dissolution of her marriage. The bench noted that divorce by mutual consent can only be granted if the consent remains valid until the final order is passed.
The woman had filed an appeal against the 2011 judgment of an additional district judge in Bulandshahr, which allowed the divorce petition filed by her husband. The couple, who were married in February 2006, faced marital discord after the woman allegedly deserted her husband, an Indian Army employee, in 2007. In 2008, the husband filed for divorce.
While the woman initially consented to the divorce, she later withdrew her consent and contested the proceedings. The High Court pointed out that the lower court had erroneously granted the divorce based on the wife's initial statement, without considering subsequent developments. The HC overturned the lower court's decision, stating that the wife's withdrawal of consent should have been acknowledged.
