The Supreme Court recently observed that a Hindu marriage can be dissolved through a customary divorce deed, provided the existence of such a customary right is established. The Supreme Court said that the marriage can be dissolved by virtue of Section 29(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955. As per Section 29(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, none of the provisions of the Act will affect any right recognised by custom or conferred by any special enactment to obtain the dissolution of a Hindu marriage. The apex court also stated that the parties relying on a customary divorce deed must prove that such a customary right existed. The court said that the customary right must be established through evidence. SC on ED Probes: Functioning Should to Be Transparent and Fair, Not Vindictive, Says Supreme Court.
