The Supreme Court of India on January 20, 2026 dissolved a marriage under Article 142, finding an irretrievable breakdown after the couple lived together only 65 days and separated for over a decade. The Bench of Justices Rajesh Bindal and Manmohan urged courts, police and lawyers to prioritize pre-litigation and court-linked mediation, warning that accusations—including AI-fabricated evidence—aggravate disputes and choke the judicial system.
Key Points
- 1Dissolves marriage under Article 142 after irretrievable breakdown; couple separated over a decade.
- 2Warns courts are being used as battlefields; false allegations, AI-fabricated evidence aggravate disputes.
- 3Encourages pre-litigation and court-linked mediation centres in all districts to pursue reconciliation.
Scoring Rationale
Official Supreme Court directive raises mediation importance and court efficiency; limited technical or AI-specific novelty reduces data‑science impact.
