In
this busy world, it's difficult to find time to fit the small things in. That's
why India's courts will now allow video conferencing for couple who can't make
it into court.

traveling long distances.

conferencing will couples who find it too painful to be in the same room as
their partner. It will also take away the "too busy" excuse from

couples.
