A Contested divorce petition u/s.13(1)(ia) was entered before one year completion of marriage. Now, An application has entered by parties for granting order to convert the petition from contested divorce u/s.13(1)(ia) to mutual consent divorce u/s.13b in family court after two years completed of marriage.My question is; in this case,Does Section 14 of the Hindu Marriage Act (No petition for divorce to be presented within one year of marriage) applicable as granting order to convert the petition from Sec.13(1)(ia) to Sec.13B is still pending by Court? Note: here, the court had entertained the petition u/s.13(1)(ia) without any leave and exceptional hardship.
