9. What happens if both husband and wife decide not to pursue the mutual divorce case?

If both the husband and wife decide not to pursue the mutual divorce case, they have options to withdraw it gracefully. They can file a withdrawal application or verbally record their statement before the judge. Alternatively, if they prefer not to attend court, they can simply skip their hearing dates, leading to the case being dismissed by default. This allows them to conclude the matter without further legal proceedings.
