MYSURU: Shakespeare may have pondered ‘What’s in a name?’ For an estranged Mysore couple, the answer was left to four judges and a group of other judicial officials to name their three-year-old child name.
The court-chosen name “Aryavardhana” also brought a happy ending to the couple on Saturday, bringing them back from the brink of divorce to a happy reunion as they exchanged garlands and put three years of bitter quarrels behind them. back.
After the birth of their child in 2021, the couple from Hunsur in Mysore district got into a fight over the choice of name. The new mother began naming the baby “Adi,” a name that was not officially registered in any government agency’s birth records. The husband, who had never met his wife after she announced her pregnancy or even after the child was born, disagreed with the suggestion. He wanted a name that reflected the god “Shani”.
As the couple failed to find a middle path in the past two years, the wife filed a lawsuit in court seeking alimony under Section 125 of the Code of Civil Procedure. At this point, Assistant Prosecutor Sowmya MN said they came up with several suggestions that appealed to the couple, and finally they agreed on the name “Aryavardhana.”
The Hunsur District Court and District Court later formalized the “consensus” name during a hearing on Saturday.
