Congress is a progressive party. It is always attentive to social needs. Presently a parliamentary committee is examining issue of introducing irretrievable breakdown of marriage as a ground for divorce without the waiting period of six months. Two main provisions – one is that the six months’ cooling off period between the time of filing of divorce petition and actually obtaining the divorce is sought to be retained. What the Act wanted to do was to remove that six months’ waiting period. It would be better in the super structure of society if the couple had a chance to reconcile and that it should be retained. The second and more vital point that committee examined was the relation to property. Existing laws relating to alumni are there after divorce but with regard to property acquired during the marriage, that property should be treated as matrimonial property and the government should evolve a legal mechanism to ensure that upon divorce, the woman was protected particularly and there should be equitable division of matrimonial. The whole object of the proposed change is to protect the divorced women.
