Abstract This research study explores the legal and socio-cultural aspects of marriage dissolution in India, focusing on a comparative comparison of Hindu and Muslim personal laws. The research centres on the five primary grounds for divorce in India, including adultery, cruelty, desertion, conversion to another religion, and incurable mental illness. The study presents a comparative examination of Hindu and Muslim personal laws, emphasizing the disparities in divorce legislation and the influence of religious convictions on divorce laws. The study also examines the socio-cultural determinants of marriage breakdown in India, encompassing gender roles, socio-economic issues, and cultural attitudes towards divorce. The study reveals that gender norms and societal perspectives on divorce have a substantial impact on divorce rates in India, with women encountering greater obstacles in seeking a divorce compared to males. The article finishes by providing recommendations for policy and practice, highlighting the necessity for increased adaptability in divorce legislation and the significance of tackling gender disparity and cultural perspectives on divorce. The research also emphasises the significance, especially within the context of the evolving socio-cultural environment of India. The study emphasises the necessity for a more sophisticated comprehension of the elements that impact the termination of marriages in India, including examining gender roles, socio-economic issues, and cultural perspectives on divorce. The research highlights the need of tackling gender disparity and cultural perspectives on divorce as a means to enhance the adaptability and equity of divorce legislation in India.
