Abstract

“Irretrievable breakdown of marriage” refers to a marriage that is totally unworkable, emotionally dead, beyond salvage and has broken down irretrievably. Though 'irretrievable breakdown of marriage' is not a ground for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriages Act, the Supreme Court has, in a significant ruling, said divorce can be granted if a marriage is totally unworkable, emotionally dead and beyond salvage.
