Evidence should be eliminated wherein emphasis is on conciliation not litigation. Here the Courts have to play a more dynamic positive role and seek assistance from the social workers and experts. Grounds on which the spouses can claim judicial separation is similar to those on which divorce can be obtained. As a result, though they are entitled to live separately they are not permitted to re-marry. In short, it means separation from bed and board.
Divorce dissolves the marriage legally.
As stated earlier the grounds are more or less similar to those for judicial separation. The difference in that is, after a decree of divorce is granted by a competent court, the parties are free to re-marry. In short, the court on being satisfied that there is no reasonable cause for the spouse to leave the matrimonial home, may order such spouse to resume cohabitation thereby restituting the Conjugal Rights of that spouse. This concept though archaic is still retained in most of the matrimonial statues in India.
