Divorce plea

The petitioner relied on the said application that marriage of the parties was solemnised according to Hindu rites and ceremonies, hence divorce to be granted according to the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

The High Court of Gauhati while allowing a Divorce plea which was rejected by Family Court has held that refusal to wear ‘sakha and sindoor’ will project a woman to be unmarried and signify her refusal to accept the marriage with the husband.
