2. The first petitioner and the second petitioner are wife and husband respectively having been married at …………… on the ………… and the said marriage is still subsisting.

4. Soon after the marriage owing to differences in temperament, habits, tastes, thoughts, and increasing incompatibility, the relationship between the first petitioner and the second petitioner deteriorated. Frequent quarrels resulted as between them with several reconciliations which did not, however, last for any length of time. Finally, after a very serious quarrel and in order to avoid further deterioration in relationship which might reflect on their families and friends, the first petitioner and the second petitioner out of free will and accord separated on the ………… never to return to each other. The petitioners, therefore, finally separated owing to irreconcilable differences in habits and temperament on the ………… within the jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court.

5. Further efforts and attempts were made by mutual friends and acquaintances to effect a reconciliation and for a resumption of the marital relationship but it has not been possible owing to the vital differences in temperament and total incompatibility giving rise to invincible repugnance which had rendered normal married life impracticable and impossible and fraught with dangerous adverse physical and mental consequences.

6. The first petitioner states that she and the second petitioner have been separated and living apart for more than two years and the duration of cohabitation prior thereto was not in any case for much more than a year.

7.  In the circumstances the first petitioner and second petitioner have mutually agreed and decided that there is no point for the continuance of the marital relationship and have further agreed upon the dissolution of the marriage tie by a decree of divorce.

8. The petitioners state and submit that in the circumstances aforesaid it is therefore desirable and necessary that the marriage should be dissolved in the mutual interests of the parties, there being no chance of reconciliation.

9. The cause of action for this petition arose on the ………… when the first and the second petitioner were married and on the …………… within the jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court when the first petitioner and the second petitioner finally agreed to separate with the departure of the second petitioner.

10. A court-fee of Rs. ………… is paid under ……… of the ……………

11. Both the first and the second petitioner state that there is no impediment to the dissolution of the marriage and the decision to separate and apply for a divorce has been arrived at after such consideration and after having given the utmost importance to all aspects of the case.

12. The first and the second petitioner therefore pray that this Hon’ble Court be pleased to pass a decree declaring the marriage solemnised between the first and the second petitioner under the Hindu Vedic Rites on ………… the first and the second petitioner under the Hindu Vedic Rites on ………… be dissolved and for such other reliefs as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit.
