Land Mark Judgments on Divorce Cases In India.

In India, marriages and divorces are governed by personal laws based on religious affiliations. The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 applies to Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and Sikhs, while Muslims, Christians, and Parsis are governed by separate acts like the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939, Indian Divorce Act, 1869, and Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936 respectively. The Special Marriage Act, 1954 allows for interfaith marriages, providing a uniform legal framework across all religions.
