Section 22 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (and similar provisions in other personal laws governing matrimonial matters) specifically provides that proceedings under the Act shall be conducted in camera if either party so desires or if the court thinks fit. This is to protect the privacy and dignity of the parties involved in sensitive matrimonial disputes.
