Section 13B (Hindu Marriage Act)

Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act provides a legal procedure for couples to seek divorce through mutual consent. It allows spouses to jointly file for divorce after living separately for at least six months, without blaming each other or needing to prove fault. The process involves filing a joint petition, and after a waiting period, the court may grant the divorce if both agree. This section emphasizes amicable resolution and is designed to make divorce simpler, faster, and less contentious for Hindu couples.
