A Mumbai-based couple recently got separated via mutual consent without stepping into the Bandra family court. According to a report in the Times of India, the couple was not in India when they filed for divorce. When the divorce was granted by the family court, the husband was stranded in Bali on a tourist visa, while the wife was stuck in Dubai, where she works.
The couple got married in Mumbai in 2002 under the Special Marriage Act. Three years ago, the two started living separately, citing irreconcilable differences.
