Her estranged husband, a software engineer from New Jersey, has challenged her appeal for a divorce, arguing that because they got married in America, it's US law and not Hindu Marriage Law that should apply to their case.
Sukanya married R Sridhar at the Balaji temple in New Jersey in April 2002. She returned to India in January 2003 and has not been back to New Jersey since.
A family court in Chennai and then the Madras High Court had rejected Sridhar's petition.
Now the Supreme Court has given the family court four months to decide on Sukanya's divorce.
