Hello
The court's observations were made while deciding on a revision petition by a woman seeking enhancement of the maintenance to be paid to her by her husband pursuant to a trial court order.
The probe is based on phone recordings submitted before the court by the petitioner's estranged wife.
The action is being taken as per the recommendation of the Assembly committee on the welfare of women, children, transgender community and the differently-abled.
Aesha made the announcement via an Instagram post.
The Court pointed out that the laws framed during a time when divorces were granted for absolutely unavoidable reasons are still in force.
The verdict by a division bench of Justices A. Muhamed Mustaque and K. Edappagath came as it turned down an appeal filed by a man challenging a judgment of a family court granting divorce to the woman.
Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao have been together for 15 years.
A division bench of Justices A Muhamed Mustaque and Kauser Edappagath, while considering the matter of divorce between a doctor-couple, said making unnecessary accusations against one spouse amounts to 'mental cruelty.'
The bench overruled a 1972 ruling of the single bench of the court barring Muslim women from resorting to extra-judicial modes of dissolving marriage.
Researchers have been examining the mental and physical effects of divorce, but may have missed an opportunity to accurately characterize these effects.
