Overview

  • The Supreme Court of India has directed Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his estranged wife Payal Abdullah to attempt reconciliation within three weeks.
  • This follows the failure of an earlier mediation process aimed at resolving their matrimonial disputes.
  • Omar Abdullah's plea for divorce was previously dismissed by the Delhi High Court in December 2023, which upheld an earlier 2016 family court order rejecting the divorce.
  • The Supreme Court bench emphasized giving the couple another chance to resolve their differences before further legal proceedings continue.
  • The next hearing in the case is scheduled for May 7, 2025, after the three-week reconciliation period.
