JUDGMENT
A.Muhamed Mustaque, J.
This original petition was filed for early disposal of the petition
for divorce filed by the petitioner before the Family Court,
Mavelikkara as O.P(HMA) No.21 of 2021.
2. The parties resolved their disputes and filed a joint petition
under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. They also entered
into a joint statement, which is produced along with I.A No.1 of
2022.
3. The parties are present before us. We interacted with
them. They are firm in their decision for separation. The marriage
between the parties was solemnised on 05.04.2013. They are living
separately since 2017 onwards.
4. In the light of the interaction, we are of the view that, their
marriage can be dissolved based on the joint petition filed before
this Court under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act.
Accordingly, we order dissolution of the marriage between the
parties by mutual consent. We also direct the Family Court,
Mavelikkara to pass a formal decree of dissolution of marriage based
on interaction by us, without further insistence of their presence
before that court. The joint statement produced before this Court
along with the application under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage
Act shall be forwarded to the Family Court, Mavelikkara and the
Family Court shall, after recording the joint statement, pass a formal
decree of divorce.
This original petition is disposed of as above.
