AMIT KUMAR vs SUMAN BENIWAL

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order which upheld the Family Court's refusal to waive the six-month waiting period under Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act for a mutual consent divorce. The court noted the irreconcilable differences between the parties and emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory provisions designed to ensure reflection before divorce. The outcome reinforces the procedural requirements for divorce by mutual consent under the Hindu Marriage Act.
