Abstract

The Indian Divorce Act, also known as the Divorce Act of 1869 is one of the few codified personal laws implemented in India to regulate and govern the actions of the personal laws. This was one of the oldest acts framed during British rule. This act highly mentions judicial separation, alimony, conjugal rights, divorce, remarriage and custody of children. Since then, there weren’t enough amendments in this act to match the dynamic nature of law. For example, mutual consent divorce. This short article is going to focus on Section 10A which talks about the same.
