New Delhi, June 10: Seeking a divorce in case marriage goes bad will now become easier with the government today approving a bill that seeks to amend two Acts governing marriages.
The amendment makes it possible for anyone to seek divorce by proving that there has been “irretrievable breakdown of marriage” and escape the delays and “harassment” caused because of one party not turning up in courts.
The Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill 2010 was approved by the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The Bill provides for amendment of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 and the Special Marriage Act 1954, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters.
