899 votes

Dear Sir/Madam when mediation fails the matter returns to the court for further proceedings on the mutual consent petition ​the wife can file her statement or response to place her version on record regarding the objections raised by the husband ​if a counter affidavit or statement is filed by the wife the husband may file a rejoinder to clarify or refute those specific statements ​what the judge could say next depends on whether free consent truly exists between the parties ​if the court finds that mutual consent is missing or that the agreement was coerced the judge may dismiss the mutual consent petition leaving the parties to pursue contested divorce proceedings under section 13 of the hindu marriage act
