Couples seeking divorce within a year of their wedding must file a separate application citing “exceptional hardship” or “exceptional depravity” in order to waive the mandatory one-year waiting period under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the Orissa high court has observed, adding that the court retains discretion in such cases to allow the petition. Noting that the couple have been residing separately for nearly five years and proactively contesting the case before the court, the bench said it would be apt to remand the matter back to the family court for fresh adjudication, rather than dismissing it purely on procedural grounds. (HT Archive) Disposing of a petition filed by a man, who had challenged a family court’s order denying his prayer for divorce from his wife within a year of their wedding, a division bench of the high court held that Section 14 of the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA), which bars presentation of petition for divorce within one year of marriage, starts with a non-obstante clause, meaning it overrides all other provisions of the 1955 …

Even if a court comes to a prima facie conclusion that the marriage between the parties is void or voidable, pending the final disposal of the proceeding under the Hindu Marriage Act, the matrimonial court is not precluded from granting maintenance pendente lite, added the apex court. In view of the conflicting views on the applicability of Sections 24 and 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the question as to whether alimony can be granted where marriage has been declared void was referred to a 3-judge Bench in August last year. Apart from the above question, the 3-judge Bench also dealt with the question as to whether in a petition filed under the Hindu Marriage Act seeking nullity of marriage, a spouse is entitled to seek maintenance pendente lite (pending the litigation). The appellant’s counsel contended that a marriage declared …
