Amendment in Hindu Marrige Act, 1955 & Special Marrige act, A lot of people are worried without even reading the Proposed Amendment.
The addition of Section 13 C will not have an overridding effect on other sections in HMA Act.
The Order can be passed under Section 13 F only when the petition is filed under Section 13 C.
Wife will have right to oppose the Petition as respondent but if the husband is respondent, he has not been conferred upon any such rights.
How this amendment will affect the Petitions pending before the various courts in India. It seems that there will be a Flood of applications seekeing amendement in the petitions. Since this section is beneficial to Indian Women, they would like to get there petitions converted to Section 13 C.
Since the period for filling such petitions under Section 13 C is Three years of separation (As per Chapter II) and the court has been granted discretion to reduce the number time frame. It appears that most of the pending petitions will qualify for this section, as in most of the cases the divorce case is pending before the courts for more than three years.
All those people who would like to advantage of this situation, will not be intersted in pushing there case before this amendment passed in the Lok Sabha and then gets the approval of the President of India.
The Indian Hindu Man will be in a very difficult situation. Although this Amendment has been made keeping in mind the rights of Indian Hindu Women, but this Amendment if passed will kill the instiution of Marriage for ever in India.....
Like Food Bill this is dream project of Congress which is aimed at running the Family mattters which can be resolved amicably.
This law in the current condition is biased and should be opposed by every Indian who belives in the Instituation of Marriage.
The Marrige Bill as passed by Lok sabha is enclosed.
