Here is the case that finally got the corrupted slow moving useless buggers in the Indian Parliament to finally bring in “irretrievable breakdown of marriage” as a valid ground for divorce. Naturally when thousands of men scream no one hears us, but when the Union Ministers Daughter is involved the nation hears, god bless India. Jai Hind.
Thank god Smriti's husband refused her Mutual Concent Divorce or else this law would never have come in today! This is what I call Husband Wife service, it too both of them to change the laws, you can say the two of them benefited the nation this day.

NEW DELHI: Hinging hopes on an apex court advisory to the government to consider “irretrievable breakdown of marriage” as a valid ground for divorce, Union minister Sushil Shinde’s daughter Smriti on Wednesday moved SC seeking to end to an unhappy marriage with her husband.
Frustrated by persistent refusal of her husband to consent to a mutually agreed divorce, Smriti’s counsel, senior advocates Harish Salve and Mukul Rohtagi, pleaded before a Bench comprising CJI K G Balakrishnan and Justices A K Ganguly and B S Chauhan that this violated her fundamental right to live life with dignity, which was guaranteed by Article 21 (right to life) of Constitution.
What the SC, which had previously dismissed her appeal against an HC order rejecting her divorce plea as her husband had refused to consent for ending the marriage, was whether such withholding of consent by one party violated other party’s fundamental right. It issued notice to ministry of law and justice as Smriti alleged that because of the husband, she was forced to live a married life against her free will.
