Betul (MP), Sept. 14 -- A unique scene unfolded at the National Lok Adalat, convened on the district court premises, when three couples, who had been living separately for years, listened to the judge's advice and decided to forgive and forget.

Yesterday, the courtroom resounded with applause as the couples garlanded each other and reunited.

The first case involved a local couple. The wife had been living at her parents' place, vexed over her husband's alcoholism.
