“Circumstances are Masters of the Man. Man is not the Master of his Circumstances”.
When I first heard these words, I was sitting at a Shiva Temple. I was aged about 12 years. A middle aged man came near me,, sat near me and started telling me these words.
I listened blankly as I was not mature enough to understand these words.
But I remembered these words. I still remember face of that man who was emphatically trying to impress these words on me.
“If man is powerless against his Circumstances, then what is his role? What is role of his Efforts? What is the gain in fighting against one’s circumstances when Circumstances are the Masters of man? Isn’t Man helpless against his Circumstances?
I often wondered around above questions.
Then recently I came across two words, : “Act Accordingly”.
It means that whatever be your circumstances, Act Accordingly.
If you have lot of money, then act accordingly. If have less money, then act accordingly. If you win a case, act accordingly. If you loose a case, then act accordingly.
I think these two words teach us to adjust ourselves with our circumstances. If it is possible to overcome circumstances, then act accordingly. If it is not possible to overcome circumstances, then also act accordingly.

LR-42 Crisis of Marriages broken down within two years…
StandardCrisis of Marriages broken down within two years…
1) Till today, divorce laws in India are not clear. Irretrievable Breakdown of Marriage is not a ground available in Divorce Laws. Parliament tried to amend law but it failed to pass amendment.
2) Supreme Court has special powers under Art 142 to grant divorce where marriage has irretrievably broken.
3) But District Courts and High Courts do not have such powers of Art. 142.
4) Question is : Can parties directly file petition under Art 32,142 in Supreme Court for Divorce if their marriage has irretrievablly broken down?
I do not yet know answer to this question.🙃
4) A couple had approached District Court to grant them divorce on ground that their marriage has broken down irretrievably. They cited judgements of Supreme Court passed under Art.142.
But District Court rejected their application by saying that Supreme Court can pass such orders in Art 142, but since District Courts have no such powers he cannot grant divorce on this ground.
5) I feel very sad when I see couples was marriage had broken down within two years.
6) The Mutual Consent Divorce provision has also problems of waiting for six months… And it allows wife to withdraw her consent before six month is over.
7) As such, at present there are problems in these laws.
Earliest law reforms are needed to enable our young couples to start afresh in new life and to correct their mistakes.
