Condonation
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Condonation, a pardoning or remission. In cases of adultery it is forgiveness, legally releasing the injury, by virtue of Judicature Act, 1925, s. 178, replacing the (English) Matrimonial Causes Act, 1857, s. 30; Keats v. Keats, (1859) 28 LJP & M 57. When cruelty by a husband is condoned, it is revived by subsequent adultery on his part (Norman v. Norman, 1908 p. 6).
Forgiveness and restoration, Dr. N.G. Dastane v. S. Dastane, (1975) 2 SCC 326: AIR 1975 SC 1534 (1545): (1975) 3 SCR 967. [Hindu Marriage Act (25 of 1955) s. 23(1)(b) and 10(1)(b)]
