Gajendra Singh VS Reena Balmiki - 2025 0 Supreme(SC) 555 : The grounds for divorce in this case were the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, supported by prolonged separation since December 2007 and irreconcilable differences. The court held that the long-standing separation and lack of efforts toward reconciliation warranted the dissolution of the marriage, emphasizing that continuing a dead marital relationship served no purpose.Checking relevance for Chandra Mohini Srivastava VS Avinuh Prasad Srivastava...
Chandra Mohini Srivastava VS Avinuh Prasad Srivastava - 1966 0 Supreme(SC) 284 : The grounds of divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, as interpreted in this case, include adultery and cruelty. However, the U.P. amendment to Section 13(1)(viii) of the Hindu Marriage Act requires a prior decree of judicial separation before a decree of divorce can be granted. Additionally, condonation of the alleged adultery by continuing to cohabit after becoming aware of it bars the claim for divorce on the ground of adultery.Checking relevance for Rinku Baheti VS Sandesh Sharda...
Rinku Baheti VS Sandesh Sharda - 2025 4 Supreme 176 : The grounds of divorce recognized in the documents include: (1) irretrievable breakdown of marriage, which is a ground for dissolution of marriage under Article 142(1) of the Constitution of India when the Supreme Court is satisfied that the marriage has completely failed and there is no possibility of the parties cohabiting together; (2) cruelty under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which can be inferred from an irretrievable breakdown of marriage that has become acrimonious and bitter over time; and (3) mutual consent under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, where the parties have been living separately for at least one year, have not been able to live together, and mutually agree to dissolve the marriage. The documents also confirm that while irretrievable breakdown is not a standalone ground under the Hindu Marriage Act, it can serve as a basis for divorce under Article 142(1) of the Constitution when it is established that the marriage is unworkable and beyond salvation, and doing complete justice to the parties requires dissolution.
