Marriages 'Sacrosanct' In Hindus But Misuse Of Domestic Violence Act A Menace, Courts Must Encourage Settlement: Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court has deliberated on "Hindu marriage sanctity" and the "settlement, DV Act misuse." This highlights the court's concern regarding the integrity of Hindu marriages and potential misuse of laws designed to protect victims of domestic violence. The discussion likely revolves around situations where the Domestic Violence (DV) Act is invoked without genuine grounds or used as a tool for financial settlements in matrimonial disputes, rather than for its intended purpose of protecting against actual abuse.
