your divorce agreement has no value . divorce has to be granted by court .

agreement was merely affirmed before notary . no case lies against notary .

your wife is still wedded to you .

Agreed with Ajay Sethi.

Shri Ajay Sethi has advised you quite appropriately.

As Rama insist your wife to marry her, most probably, he try/have s*x relation in a closed room.

Call Police, Photographer, get proof of their inside a closed room. Rama will be jailed for 7 years.
Issue Notice to Rama, Your Wife, and Notary, that writing to the effect of Divorce and Notarized, is not done by your willingly ind voluntarily, and not binding on you, and Divorce is null and void ab initio.
You can also lodge Police Complaint.

All involved in such act can be punished.
As Notary is involved, he too get punishment, for notarising illegal deed of divorce. Bombay HC Order 10 days ;;
Shonee Kapoor (Expert) 23 March 2012
Which order you are referring to Mr. Shroff.

Notary need not know the content of paper which is being notarized.

Dear Shonee Saab,

He said "I don’t know the notary and witness who are signed on the notary.”So notorised in his ansence. ++

Over and Above: +++

Divorce Deed never notarized for last two years in Maharashtra due to this instructions,. Bombay High Court declared: Any Advocate helps in executing, even Drafting & Preparing Divorce Deed, will be punished with 10 days imprisonment. It includes Notary.
All Family Court Exhibited this Notice Right in Entrance of Court, to beware false divorce deeds. Divorce is valid only through Court. No Customary Divorce under Sec 29 HMA apply for Divorce in home.
Now It is strictly practiced in Mumbai.

A NOTARY HAS NO POWER OF DIVORCE. THE AGREEMENT HAS NO LEGAL VALUE AT ALL. ONLY A COMPETENT CIVIL COURT HAS THE POWER TO DECREE A DIVORCE AND THERE IS SPECIFIC PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW. DO NOT WORRY. THAT DOCUMENT HAS ZERO LEGAL VALUE.
PARTHA P BORBORA (Expert) 24 March 2012
The notary should be punished because he is duty bound to inspect himself any document or paper or affidavits or agreements before puting his signature nd seal. He knows the law And thus he clearly knows that such type of divorce is null and void ab initio. So he is not entitled to get any safeguard.

Dear Krishna,
At the first instance how was your marriage performed.Is it as per rituals or a registered marriage.
How could you sign documents before a Notary forcibly.AS stated above the Notary cannot act in the way you have mentioned,and moreover he has no such powers delagated.If this has really happened his Notaryship can be terminated with immediate effect.Hence the papers Rama is holding are of no value.Is he your family friend or just a friend of your wife.Another important point is,does he also belong to the same caste as your wife.

Immediately contact a good lawyer in your place and proceed further.Will it be of any benefit,if both of you have a good family councelling.Leave aside Rama.Immediately give a police complaint against him.

Sir,

That might be the case in Mumbai. But divorce agreements/ MoU for divorce are routinely being notarized. Most (illeterate) assume that to be divorce and proceed to get married and land in trouble.

That surely is not illegal./
