Get back together

A division bench of the Bombay High Court has ordered a couple to get back together. They had been living separately for the last 10 years.
The couple was granted divorce in 2006 by a family court on grounds of cruelty and desertion by the wife.
The couple, Deepika and Parag Surwe, got married in 1994 and lived in Vile Parle until Deepika left her matrimonial home in 1998. They have a 10-year-old daughter, Sonali, who lives with the mother.
Before hearing the case, the judges had interviewed the couple in their chamber. While Deepika said she was keen to live with Parag even after all these years of separation, the husband refused to get back together, saying he had ‘‘suffered a lot’’.
