2. The petitioner is the wife. It is stated that the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent was solemnized on 03.03.2014 as per Hindu rites. The respondent has instituted H.M.O.P. No.496 of 2024 before the Family Court, Trichy.
3. The petitioner contends that she is residing at Coimbatore with her parents and that she has to travel more than 220 kms from Coimbatore to Trichy to attend every hearing, causing hardship and difficulty.
4. In matrimonial matters, the convenience of the wife, particularly when she is residing away from the place where the proceedings are instituted and is required to undertake repeated travel, is a relevant and weighty circumstance. The pleadings indicate that the petitioner is residing at Coimbatore and the journey to Trichy is stated to be long and onerous, this Court is satisfied that continuance of the proceedings at Trichy would cause avoidable hardship to the petitioner, whereas transfer to Coimbatore would subserve the ends of justice. No serious prejudice is shown to be caused to 2/4
the respondent by such transfer.
