The Story in Brief
Sangeetha, wife of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, withdrew her divorce petition on Friday in the Chengelpattu family court, appearing via video-conference. The court accepted her withdrawal and formally closed the case, granting her the liberty to refile later if needed.
The petition, filed last year under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, alleged extra-marital relations and mental cruelty. The Federal reports informed sources indicate an out-of-court settlement, noting the couple's son Jason recently praised his father publicly for the first time.
The Indian Opinion
The withdrawal of Sangeetha's petition, and the son's sudden public praise of his father, hint at a private reconciliation that public figures rarely get to conduct quietly. While some will see this as a political inconvenience dodged for the CM, the real test of this patch-up is the family returning to normal life, something no court order can guarantee. Can a marriage strained by allegations of extra-marital affairs and mental cruelty truly rebuild in private?
