Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jesia granted divorce; 21 years of marriage comes to an end

Estranged couple Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jesia are now finally divorced. Arjun and Mehr had tied the knot in 1998. The couple had filed for divorce six months ago. A family court in Bandra granted them divorce by mutual consent on Tuesday ie. on November 19.

As per a Mumbai Mirror report, the couple was granted the divorce as per the Special Marriage Act. They had filed for divorce on April 30, 2019. Under the Special Marriage Act, couples are asked to live separately for around a year and then file for divorce.

The tabloid quoted a court official saying, “After a petition for divorce by mutual consent is filed, their plea is scrutinised, registered and then, the couple is referred to a marriage counsellor to attempt a reconciliation. If that fails, the couple is given six more months to work things out. Six months later, if they are resolute in their decision to part ways and have complied with the terms of divorce mutually agreed to between them, a court draws up a decree of divorce.”

We feel that it is time for us to move on to different destinations henceforth. We have always been solid when it has come to us, we will continue to be solid for each other and our loved ones, as we embark upon a new journey,” read their statement.
