Parties Agreeing To Mutual Divorce After Living Separately For More Than A Year Doesn't Negate Separation: Allahabad High Court

Allahabad High Court delivered a judgment concerning the separation period and mutual consent divorce under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. Section 13B allows for divorce by mutual consent after a specified period of separation. The court's judgment likely clarifies the interpretation and application of these provisions, potentially addressing issues such as the mandatory nature of the separation period, the possibility of waiving it under certain circumstances, or the procedures for filing and finalizing a mutual consent divorce.
