Dress not a ground for divorce

I too read this news in Hindu paper today. Divorce based on dress is very difficult. This is a very small issue

This is a very silly reason that can be solved by just talking to each other!!!!!


How can a petition be filed for this small issue???

But i also read that they demanding dowry and torturing her. So this is other reason for divorce

Of all reasons and grounds for divorce - a matter relating to dress sounds pretty amusing.So divorce-seeker better prepare some other grounds!!!

Reason for divorce is so funny I listed it first time. Anyway good joke.

The couple who are keen to part ways would go for any excuse to separate and the present case falls into that category.

The lady seeking divorce presented all facts, she felt, could help her. Cruelty is one of the reasons for seeking divorce. According to he the compulsion to wear a sari amounts to cruelty. although the court did not agree to her plea, I also feel that wearing sari could be difficult. Personally, I cannot wear dhoti Kurta. So, if I am forced, this will be cruel to me.

Now divorce is being made easier by amending the Hindu marriage Act. The marriage is not considered so unbreakable. The amendment may prove disastrous.

This is indeed a very petty reason for seeking divorce!! I agree Gulshan, that being forced to do something that one does not like amounts to cruelty. BUt couldn't this be talked out and resolved! :dry:

i dont think we can really do anything regarding an issue like divorce. it is a domestic matter n no one will know best bout it but the persons involved. wouldn't it be like us encroaching upon others' private domain... dis is wat i feel.

I agree with you Sajeetharan, but if an Act of a lawa which is in place for common good is being used indiscriminately and to spite some one, it is time to take note of it!

Good judgement indeed. Thanks for sharing this information here.

Sajeetharan- Family is basic social unit. This is not like school mates friendship. Frequent breaking up of families weakens the society as a whole. I think divorce should be freely permitted as long as couple do not have kids. Divorce should be very rarely allowed to couples with children. If the divorce is allowed, the couple should be ordered to pay for upbringing of children to any other person or institution that will look after their children.

This shows that now a days divorce rate is at rise.

@Gulshan,

I completely agree with you on this.And it's time to take a hard look at the grounds for. divorce.
