Can't import western system where plea for divorce is filed one day and is allowed next day: Supreme Court
The bench made the observation after noting that the 40-day period of the married couple staying together was too short for it to quash the marriage using its plenary powers under Article 142.
The Supreme Court on Thursday emphasised that in the Indian legal system, divorce proceedings are spaced out before a decree of quashing the marriage or ordering mediation etc is passed.
