The Court shall decide upon the divorce petition only after ......... of filing of divorce petition u/sec. 13B.
Answer: C
The court decides the petition only after 6 months.
Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 provides that, on a motion of both parties made not earlier than six months and not later than eighteen months after the presentation of the petition for divorce by mutual consent, the court shall, after hearing them and making inquiry, pass a decree. In Amardeep Singh v. Harveen Kaur (2017) the Supreme Court held that this waiting period may be waived in suitable cases.
One month, three months and one year are not the statutory period.
