A guy chasing a girl for 10 years and finally convincing her to marry him sounds like the plot of a romantic Bollywood movie. But what happens next is far from a fairy tale ending. Within just one month of their marriage, the man decides that their "tuning" is missing and he wants a divorce.
This scenario brings up several questions about the concept of love and commitment. How can someone spend a decade pursuing another person and then suddenly realize they aren't compatible after getting married? Was the man truly in love with the woman or was he just obsessed with the idea of being with her?
The law will take action only, if there is a complaint from the girl. Why cannot the law protect marriages right from the beginning? Timely intervention and periodic check are required to see who is responsible for breaking this beautiful institution.
Love or arrange marriage, court marriage or any other form, before and after periodic counseling should be made mandatory for both alliances.
Sadly, there is a law of divorce to end the marriage, but there is no law to secure the institution of marriage?

The marriage is up to the couple . We don’t know what goes on in a marriage and it concerns only the couple. If they love each other and want to stay together, great. If not, get a divorce and look for a more fitting partner. Don’t make your life miserable by staying with the wrong person.

It's the same here in the U.S. more or less. Well, kind of. Each state is different, but there's usually a waiting period from the time you purchase a marriage license before you can use it. But, that's about it.
Marriage is a very personal thing between a couple. Which why it's a tentative subject. If you make it hard for couples to get married, they would just find ways around it. Saying counseling, again another personal thing, should be required, is basically telling a person they're crazy and can't trust themselves. It causes more hardship, than anything. Each person has their own story to tell, and no one can know each story.

@stapllotik The same I suppose. Give them a safe space to talk, and allow them to decide how much or little they want it. Council doesn't work, if it's forced upon someone.

Thanks for the clarity. Suppose, if you are a legally appointed counsellor, how would you counsel before and after marriage?

Appreciate your comment. Do you think that parents of the couple also need counseling before and after of their children's wedding?

@stapllotik I think it would depend on if they are responsible for interfering with the relationship of the couple. To me, anyway.

Marriage is only beautiful if the love is genuine and mutual. The woman in this scenario probably didn't truly love him. She felt 'defeated' by him and gave in to his will.

May be or maybe he was afraid of commitment and used the excuse of "tuning" as a way out.
