It is up to the discretion of the parties to live together or separately. If they come to good terms during this six month period they can withdraw their petition of mutual divorce. If not, they can continue with the proceedings and get the marriage dissolved.

There is a statutory period that as per law every person must undergo. This period is mandatory. This is a protective provision that has been made to preserve the institution of marriage. Cooling-off period (6 months) sometimes results in reconciliation between the estranged husband and wife leading to saving their marriage.
