Kaklaimani :- Divorce
Divorce is known as Kaklaimani in Kokborok.
Divorce is permissible in Tripuri society. Both husband and wife are allowed to seek divorce on various grounds. Parents of both parties, the village head and elders gather at a meeting. Both the parties are given a chance to express their grievances and are heard patiently. After hearing the facts, circumstances and opinion of either side, the village head man Chokdiri gives the judgement in front of the gathering; it is bound on both the parties.

Famous quotes containing the word divorce:
“This habit of free speaking at ladies’ lunches has impaired society; it has doubtless led to many of the tragedies of divorce and marital unhappiness. Could society be deaf and dumb and Congress abolished for a season, what a happy and peaceful life one could lead!”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
