Finland’s Prime Minister Sanna Marin has announced that she and her husband, Markus Räikkönen, are filing for divorce.

The pair posted the news, separately, on their Instagram accounts on Wednesday afternoon.

“We have filed for divorce together. We are grateful for 19 years together and for our beloved daughter,” the PM wrote.

The couple say they remain the best of friends, and will “continue to spend time together as a family and with each other.”

Marin and Räikkönen were married in August 2020, and have a 5-year-old daughter together. The wedding, at the PM’s official residence in Helsinki, came as a surprise during a COVID lockdown respite in Finland.

However her private life hit the headlines in late summer 2022 when video of Marin dancing closely with a Finnish musician went viral. At one point he appears to lean down and kiss her neck, but Marin dismissed the incident, saying that she had done nothing inappropriate.

Marin was officially cleared of any wrongdoing in an investigation, following a number of complaints about her behaviour, and after taking a drugs test which came back negative.

Despite gaining more votes and picking up three extra seats in April’s general election, Marin’s Social Democrats came third in the poll behind two right-wing parties.

Soon after, she announced that she would no longer continue as party chairperson, and will step down from the role in September.

Marin has indicated that, in the short term at least, she will continue as a backbench MP.

She currently leads a caretaker government, while negotiations to form a new administration are held between four other parties.

6-month separation period not valid if couple seeks divorce mutually: HC

Both of them had applied for divorce in the family court of Udaipur with mutual consent, but were given six months’ separation time…reports Asian Lite News.

The Rajasthan High Court in a significant decision has said that ‘if a husband and wife seek divorce with mutual consent, six month separation period will not be valid’.

The court was hearing a case on Thursday from Pratapgarh in which the Udaipur Family Court had fixed a six months separation period for divorce and had rejected application for instant divorce. The High Court in its order clearly said in the case that it was not appropriate to give six months’ time to the couple seeking divorce mutually.

In this case, an applicant Monika Sharma, a resident of Dhariyavad had filed a petition in the High Court stating that she is living separately from her husband, Rahul Sharma, resident of udaipur, since 2019.

Both of them had applied for divorce in the family court of Udaipur with mutual consent, but were given six months’ separation time.

“Both of us have been living separately since 2019. The appeal for hand-to-hand divorce was rejected by the family court,” said Monica in her application while her counsel told the court that the Supreme Court had earlier removed the requirement of six months’ separation in a case.

After hearing the arguments of both the sides, Justice Dinesh Mehta said that this court ends the statutory period of separation for six months. Also, it ordered the Family Court that it can issue a decree of divorce in the case following the complete statutory decor.
