New Delhi: The union
cabinet Thursday approved changes in the Marriage Laws (Amendment)
Bill which will further secure the interests of women in divorce
cases.
Sources said under the changes approved, the residential property
would have to be equally shared even if it has been acquired by
either partner before the marriage.
The other change approved in the legislation allows a couple to
end marriage in six months period if both agree the breakdown is
irretrievable. Earlier, this could happen even if one partner
wanted to end the marriage.
The bill had been deferred in the Rajya Sabha earlier after
opposition members, including the Bharatiya Janata Party, Bahujan
Samaj Party, Biju Janata Dal and the Communist Party of
India-Marxist, raised concerns during the debate on the
legislation.
