Nikhil Kumar vs Rupali Kumar

The Supreme Court, invoking Article 142 of the Constitution of India, waived the six months' waiting period under Section 13-B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, allowing the dissolution of marriage between the parties who had filed for divorce by mutual consent. The Court noted that both parties had been living separately for five years and had mutually agreed to part ways, with the respondent planning to relocate to New York for employment. The appeal was allowed, and the marriage was dissolved without any costs awarded.
