Naveen Kohli vs Neelu Kohli , (2006) 4 SCC 558
It was held that the marriage had been wrecked beyond any hope of salvation, the court held that public interest and the interests of all concerned lay in the recognition, in law, of this fact. That even though the wife was not agreeable to a divorce by mutual consent and seemed
to have resolved to live in agony only to make the life of her husband a miserable hell, public interest lay in the dissolution of the marriage bond. Keeping a sham of a marriage alive in law was held to be more conducive to immorality and potentially more prejudicial to the public interest than the dissolution of marriage. Not granting a divorce under such circumstances was held to be disastrous for the parties. The granting of divorce would offer them the chance, both psychologically and emotionally, to settle down after a while and start a new chapter in life.
