An experiment that brought peace in life of a quarrelling husband and wife.

This happened some years ago.

A couple in south India was quarrelling and wife had left home with a child.

The marriage was on verge of breaking down.

Someone on their behalf asked my advice.

I suggested that husband and wife can both sign a “MOU of mutual behaviour in home” on Rs.100/- stamp paper. The document need be witnessed and countersigned by parents of both side. And MOU be registered in office of Registrar.

The couple put down their conditions and counter conditions of Behaviours on paper, which both should follow at home.

I told them that I am not sure about binding legal value of such registered memorandum of understanding.

But if later disputes and cases would arise, the family court judges will certainly read MOU to know which of them is at fault.

They got document executed and registered as adviced. Wife and child returned home. Peace was restored.

Since years now, the couple is living happily. Their son might be studying now in some college.
