INDIAN ARMY AND DIVORCE
The Indian Army has adopted a regulation providing that when an officer is involved in divorce proceedings the fact must be recorded in his annual confidential report. If anything discreditable is suspected about his part in the case further investigation will be made, and action will depend on the findings. This is semi-officially presumed to mean that an officer found to be a guilty party will lose his commission or promotion. The example is already being cited of an officer who had just completed a course of training for a regimental command, but was told he would hot be promoted because he was the respondent in a divorce action many years ago.
