This Day That Age
The Lok Sabha on September 16 passed the divorce by mutual consent provision in the Special Marriage Bill in an amended form after a heated debate. The amendment accepted by the House provides, among other things, a one-year period during which the estranged couple, who have petitioned for divorce under this provision, may retrace their step. Prime Minister Nehru, intervening in the discussion, welcomed the provision. Another amendment adopted by the House laid an obligation on the courts, before proceeding to grant relief under the Act, to make every endeavour to bring about a reconciliation between the parties. Mr. Nehru supported the amendment moved by Mr. R. Venkataraman proposing that a divorce petition could be presented by both parties on the ground that they have been living separately for one year or more, that they have not been able to live together and that they have mutually agreed that the marriage should be dissolved.
