Bombay High Court Rejects Divorce Over Disputed 2010 Parsi Ceremony
The Bombay High Court dismissed a divorce petition filed by a Parsi woman residing in Perth, Australia, ruling that a 2010 ceremony held in Mumbai was a traditional 'Tandoorasti' blessing, not a valid Parsi 'Ashirvad' marriage ceremony. The court lacked jurisdiction under the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936, as confirmed by a unanimous jury of Parsi delegates. The woman had sought divorce and Rs 5 crore alimony, but the court noted the couple's civil marriage in Perth and the Mumbai event's limited legal significance.
