REYNOLD RAJAMANI & ANR. vs UNION OF INDIA & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that mutual consent is not a ground for divorce under Section 7 of the Indian Divorce Act, 1869. The court ruled that the provisions of Section 1(2)(d) of the Matrimonial Causes Act, 1973 of England cannot be incorporated into the Indian Divorce Act. The court emphasized that any amendment to include mutual consent as a ground for divorce is a matter of legislative policy, not judicial interpretation, and dismissed the appeal accordingly.
