In which of the following cases, the Supreme Court has held that "No court except the Supreme Court is competent to pass a decree for mutual divorce, if one of the consenting parties withdraws his/her consent before the decree is passed"?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Anil Kumar Jain v Maya Jain distinguished a matrimonial court’s statutory power under section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act from the Supreme Court’s exceptional authority under Article 142. Ordinary courts cannot grant a mutual-consent divorce after the required continuing consent has been withdrawn merely by invoking that constitutional power.
