Cooling off period is a kind of resort for the estranged couple to rethink their decision. However, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in a Landmark judgment (Amardeep Singh vs. Harveen Kaur) in September 2017 noted that the cooling-off period could be waived after evaluating every aspect of the relation being irretrievable so as to avoid future agonies to the couple. Hence after in light of the judgment mentioned, an application may be made before the adjudicating court under a compelling circumstance where the marriage has irretrievably broken down and sufficient attempts of reconciliation have failed.
