Agreement of Separation Signed by a Married Couple Has No Legal Sanctity and Does Not Amount to Divorce: MP HC
In a significant judgement, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that an agreement of separation executed between a married couple has no legal sanctity and does not amount to a divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act. The court made this observation while dismissing a criminal revision petition filed by a husband seeking to quash an FIR lodged by his wife alleging dowry harassment.
