Supreme Court dismisses divorce case due to lack of jurisdiction over the defendant's residence.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the divorce petition because the lower court lacked jurisdiction over the defendant's residence. The plaintiff argued for jurisdiction based on the defendant's temporary location, while the defendant contested this by asserting their permanent residence was elsewhere. The court ruled that jurisdiction depends on the defendant's habitual residence, which was not established in the requested court's territory.
