Section 11/12 Hindu Marriage Act | Wife's Financial Dependence & Concurrent Litigations Justify Transfer of Matrimonial Proceedings : Punjab & Haryana HC
Punjab & Haryana High Court holds that matrimonial proceedings can be transferred to the wife's preferred jurisdiction if she lacks independent income and has related cases pending there, prioritizing access to justice over procedural objections. The ruling reinforces that allegations of misconduct do not override the wife's convenience in litigation, especially when financial dependence and concurrent legal battles exist.
