A Correct answer
Explanation

Breakdown of marriage as such is not a ground for divorce. A marriage solemnised, whether before or after the commencement of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, can only be dissolved by a decree of divorce on any of the grounds enumerated in Section 13 of the Act. Irretrievable breakdown may result into an easy way of dissolution of marriage and shall result into instability in the society.
