Which of the following does not come under the preview of Fault Theory of divorce ?

  • A.Adultery
  • B.Cruelty
  • C.Desertion
  • D.Mutual consent

Answer: D

Mutual consent does not come under the fault theory.

Under the fault (guilt) theory, divorce is granted only when one spouse has committed a matrimonial offence against the other, such as adultery, cruelty or desertion, giving the innocent spouse a ground.

Divorce by mutual consent (section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act) requires no fault at all: both spouses agree that the marriage should end. It belongs to the consent theory, alongside the breakdown theory.
