Shiva and Ritika, a married couple in their early 30s, have decided to end their marriage due
to irreconcilable differences. The court has issued a Decree Nisi, an interim decree that
indicates the court sees no reason why the couple should not be divorced. However, the
divorce is not yet final, and there is a mandatory waiting period before the Decree Nisi can be
made absolute, thereby finalizing the divorce.
During this waiting period, Shiva begins a new relationship and quickly develops serious
intentions with his new partner. He plans to remarry as soon as the Decree Nisi is made
absolute, eager to start a new chapter in his life. However, unexpectedly, Ritika files for
reconciliation, arguing that they should make one last attempt to save their marriage. Ritika’s
actions could delay the final decree, leaving Shiva in a state of uncertainty.How does the
Decree Nisi affect Shiva’s ability to remarry, and what are the legal implications if Ritika
successfully delays the final decree?
