Revolutionizing Matrimonial Justice: The Case For Implementing ODR In India
Main Article Content
Abstract
Marriage, regarded as a sacred and essential social institution in India, is increasingly facing strain due to evolving individual values and personal liberties. When marital relationships turn toxic, marked by emotional abuse, control, and psychological harm they severely impact the well-being of individuals and their families, especially children. Prolonged matrimonial disputes not only violate human dignity and privacy but also suffer from delays due to an overburdened judicial system, with over 8 lakh cases pending in family courts.
This paper which is a part of my ongoing Ph. D. research work for the thesis titled “Matrimonial Dispute Resolution in India: A Study with Special Reference to Online Mechanism” conducted under the supervision of Dr. Nidhi Saxena and with the support of my thesis committee explores the growing crisis within marital relationships and examines the inefficiencies of the traditional court-based dispute resolution system. It highlights the urgent need for a mechanism that offers both speed and privacy in resolving sensitive matrimonial issues. Through a review of literature and secondary data, the study proposes Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) as a promising alternative, capable of addressing delays, reducing stigma, and ensuring safer, more dignified outcomes for individuals in distressed marriages.
