Held that in a matter where the differences between the parties are not of such magnitude and is in the nature of usual wear and tear of marital life, the future of the chils and her marital prospects are also considered, the dissolution of marriage merely because they have been living separately and litigating for long time would not be justified. More particularly when application under section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act is also considered. It will have to be taken on case to case basis and there cannot be straightjacket formula. (Para 15)

(2020) 3 SCC 786 – Mangayakarasi v. M.  Yuvraj
