But the Supreme Court on Thursday raised a question on why siblings should suffer living separately because of problems between their parents and said they should be able to live and grow together.While hearing a matrimonial dispute of a couple, a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K V Viswanathan expressed its sadness when informed that husband and wife have been living separately for the last few years and their minor children are also living separately – boy with the father and girl with the mother.”We are sad to note that the minor siblings are living separately. This separation is very painful. Siblings have to grow together. They have not committed any wrong. Why should they suffer? Even if the parties (husband and wife) decided to part ways, we think siblings should live and grow together,” the bench said.As the lawyers appearing for the warring couple told the court that mediation was on between them before the SC mediation centre, the court deferred the hearing till the outcome of the mediation. But the court again underscored that if the mediation fails and they decide to separate, even then arrangements should be made to ensure the siblings live together with either of the parents.”We are sad to note that the minor son is with the husband, whereas the minor daughter is with the mother. This separation of the siblings is something very painful. The siblings have to grow up together. They have not committed any fault. We want the parties to continue with the mediation and, as far as possible, try to arrive at some settlement. Even if the parties decide to part honourably and peacefully, we believe that the siblings should grow up together. Either the husband will bring up the children, or the mother will bring up the children,” the court said in its order.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Is a Key Ally, Cyprus Assures Strong Push to Finalise India–EU FTA TalksImran Khan Health Rumour: PTI Holds Sit In Outside Adiala Jail, KP CM Sohail Afridi Stages ProtestRam Madhav Challenges ‘No-Religion’ Narrative in White Collar Terror DebateAustralia Says India Is Now A Leading Global Power, Credits PM Modi For Transforming World DynamicsOusted PM Sheikh Hasina Faces Fresh Conviction as Court Awards 21-Year TermPM Modi Announces Major Move Allowing Private Players Into Nuclear Sector To Spur Advanced ReactorsExplained: Why Vikram-I Could Transform India’s Satellite Launch Market And Global Space Leadership‘Pak, Bangladesh, US…’: BJP Alleges Congress Using Foreign ‘X’ Accounts to Set India’s NarrativePakistan’s Adiala Jail Issues Statement On Imran Khan’s Health Amid Viral Death RumoursThe Indrajaal Ranger: India Unveils AI-Enabled Anti-Drone Patrol Vehicle In Hyderabad123PhotostoriesMalayalam cinema legends who made every frame shine with raw talentBollywood gems reviving forgotten tales with fresh heart and magic for a new generation of cinema lovers everywhereFun facts about the ‘Stranger Things’ castFrom ‘Apne’ to ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’: Dharmendra movies you can watch on OTT platforms‘Stranger Things 5’: Meet the new cast and find out who survives the final battle‘Stranger Things’ cast: Then and now‘Stranger Things’ cast: Educational qualificationsTaarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: From Dilip Joshi being older than Amit Bhatt to Mandar Chandwadkar leaving his Dubai job for acting; Lesser-known facts about the castGastroenterologist doctor reveals the power of eating 3 eggs everyday5 must-visit national parks in the USA that are also UNESCO World Heritage Sites123Hot PicksDelhi AQI TodayNew Labour CodeWorld NewsGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingToronto Maple LeafsAyesha CurryFuzzy ZoellerCristiano RonaldoStefon DiggsGabrielle UnionVanessa BryantReed Sheppard GirlfriendStephen CurryCandace Owens
