Chhattisgarh High Court waives the mandatory six-month cooling-off period under Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act where spouses have lived separately for over a year, resolved all disputes, and jointly filed for divorce with full financial settlement. The ruling reinforces the Supreme Court’s Amardeep Singh precedent, offering expedited divorce for mutually consenting couples with no pending disputes.
