Hyderabad, Feb. 8 -- A family court has refused to dissolve the marriage of a couple, citing that talaq notices were issued without a reconciliation attempt.

Dismissing the husband's suit seeking divorce through Talaq-e-Hasan, the court in Mehsana district, Gujarat, said reconciliation is a pre-condition.

Talaq notices sent before approaching court

Earlier, the man sent three talaq notices in 2021 at intervals of six weeks. Later, he approached the court for a decree.

However, the court said that a husband "cannot repudiate the marriage at his sweet will".

The court said that any dispute must be referred to arbiters from both families. It is a precondition for divorce in both Talaq-e-Ahsan or Talaq-e-Hasan, the court added.
