The marriage between the petitioner and the respondent was conducted on 16.09.2013 at Gajalakshmi Kalyana Mandapam, Poonamallee High Road, Velappan Chavadi, Chennai - 600 077 as per Hindu rites and customs. Due to difference of opinion, the petitioner filed HMOP No.3114 of 2014 for divorce against the respondent and the same is pending before the II Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Chennai. The respondent did not file any counter statement and she was set exparte on 22.09.2015 and subsequently on hearing the application, the said order was set aside by order dated 19.11.2015.
