MADURAI, OCTOBER 18, 2018 00:00 IST



The Madras High Court Bench at Madurai said though it dealt with the case cautiously and looked at the possibility of uniting the couple, it could not compel them to live together.
Says matrimonial bond was beyond repair

In matrimonial cases, where hearts united, the law had no role to play. But when they refused to unite, the court had no option but to proceed as per law, observed the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while confirming the divorce granted to a couple by a lower court.

The court was hearing the case of a woman from Virudhunagar, who appealed against a lower court’s order that granted divorce between her and her husband in a suit filed by him after irreconcilable differences crept into their relationship.

The couple who got married in 2010 started living separately within two months of marriage following differences. After a change of heart, the woman wanted to get back to her husband. However, the man refused to continue the relationship and filed the suit for divorce.

Justice J. Nisha Banu, in her order, observed that the matrimonial bond was beyond repair. Though the woman had a change of heart, the man had simply refused to continue their relationship. The court said though it dealt with the case cautiously and looked at the possibility of uniting the couple, it could not compel them to live together. Taking it as a clear case of irretrievable breakdown of marriage, the court confirmed the divorce of the couple.
