Indian Divorce Act, 1869
49. Suits by minors
Where the petitioner is a minor, he or she shall sue by his or
her next friend to be approved by the court; and no petition presented by a
minor under this Act shall be filed until the next friend has undertaken in
writing to be answerable for costs.
Such undertaking 21[* * *] shall be filed in court,
and the next friend shall thereupon be liable in the same manner and to the
same extent as if he were a plaintiff in an ordinary suit.
