Sukanya relieved in divorce case

Popular South Indian actress Sukanya, involved in a bitter divorce case got some relief from the Supreme Court today. Her estranged husband, a software engineer from New Jersey has challenged her appeal for a divorce, arguing that because they got married in America,  it’s the US law and not Hindu Marriage Law that should apply to their case.

Sukanya married R Sridhar at the Balaji Temple in New Jersey in April 2002.  She returned to India in January 2003 and has not been back to New Jersey since. A family court in Chennai and then the Madras High Court had rejected Sridhar's petition.

Now the Supreme Court has given the family court four months to decide on Sukanya's divorce.
