MP Court Grants Divorce

In a rare instance, a court in Madhya Pradesh has granted divorce to a couple just seven days after their wedding. The couple had approached the family court after the wife refused to stay with her husband, citing that she was forced into the marriage. The court, after considering the circumstances, granted them divorce by mutual consent. The wife had claimed that she was in love with someone else and did not want to continue with the marriage. The court's decision has brought an end to the short-lived marriage.
