Title: the Bombay Hindu Divorce (Decrees Validation) Act, 1958

State: Maharashtra

Year: 1958

.....for a continuous period of 4 years before the commencement of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, filed suits for divorce under one or other of those Acts, read with sections 29 and 30 of the Central Hindu Marriage Act; and it appears that divorces in certain cases were actually granted. Subsequently in Sitabai Ramchandra v. Ramchandra Raghunath Todankar, Appeal No. 94/1956, a Full Bench of the Bombay High Court decided that any right which may have accrued to obtain a divorce for desertion under the Bombay Hindu Divorce Act, 1947, could not be prosecuted after the repeal of the Act by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, as such desertion must be continuous until the filing of the suit. After the commencement of the Central Act a suit for divorce could be filed only under that Act. Consequently, divorces granted were illegal. The High Court suggested that as a considerable number of such divorces may have been granted by the Courts erroneously, the State Government should take action to validate them by legislation. This Act gives effect to this suggestion of the High Court. As the Saurashtra Hindu Divorce Act, 1952, follows subsequently the Bombay Act, divorces granted in similar.....
