A.Muhamed Mustaque, J.
This appeal arises from a judgment of the
Family Court, Alappuzha dismissing a petition for divorce filed by the appellant/husband. The parties married on 23.8.2012 as per the Hindu customary rites and ceremonies at Gowry Nandana Auditorium, Aryakara. The parties lived together only for a short period. They were living apart for more than seven years now. In the appeal, the parties, with the intervention of the third parties, agreed to
dissolve the marriage mutually. Accordingly, a joint petition has been filed under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. The said joint petition is on board. Separate affidavits have also been sworn by the parties. The parties were also appeared before us virtually. The appellant has been identified by his counsel, Sri.Vinod K.R. and the respondent has been identified by her counsel, Smt.Ajitha C.G. Mat. Appeal No.212/2017 3 We interacted with the parties. They affirmed
in dissolving the marriage. We also find that cooling off period can be waived for the reason that the original petition itself was
instituted in the year, 2014. Being satisfied that the joint application is filed bona fide, we hereby
dissolve the marriage solemnized between the appellant and the respondent on 23.8.2012 in accordance with the joint petition filed before this Court. The decree of divorce is granted
accordingly. No order as to costs. A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE DR. KAUSER EDAPPAGATH ln
