Chennai: Matrimonial discords are on the rise at an alarming rate. The sanctity of marriage is under cloud, which in a great way affects society. The cultural heritage of a country is greatly influenced by a pattern of behavior of individuals and more so, in matters of matrimony.
Conflict of laws and jurisdictions in the realm of private international law is a phenomenon that has assumed greater dimensions with the spread of Indian diaspora across the globe, observed the Madras high court.
Justice Pushpa Sathyanarayana made the observation while holding the judgment passed by a foreign court, granting custody of a six year old boy to the father was not conclusive. “It is no doubt, true that in a large number of matrimonial cases, one of the parties may return to the country of his or her origin for family support and shelter.
“It is unfortunate that in their fight more often on account of egoism, the children suffer. The child has practically no role in breaking of the marriage, but he or she suffers,” the judge observed.
