    D Sarala Mudgal v. Union (1995) _ Divorce on Ground of Conversion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Yamunabai v. Anant Rao - marriage of a Hindu woman with a Hindu male with a living spouse performed after the coming in force of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, is null and void and the woman is not entitled to maintenance under s. 125 of the Code. Sobha Rani v. Madhukar Reddy - cruelty must be studied in light of the conduct of one spouse towards another in a marriage and in the respect of marital obligations. All personal laws tag along with the fault theory of divorce. Dastane v. Dastane - Dastane vs Dastane case is the one in which the cruelty was discovered as a ground for divorce and a wife who suffers shall be entitled to be maintained by her husband. Even mental agony is also covered under the concept of cruelty. Sarla Mudgal v. Union Of India is a Supreme Court of India case. Its judgement in 1995 laid down the principles against the practice of solemnizing second marriage by conversion to Islam, with first marriage not being dissolved.
