Divorce-newly married

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 16 June 2011 This query is : Resolved
My friend got married but hardly lived (few days) with the boy as irreversible differences cropped up immediately. They got married according to Hindu rites but never registered the marriage. Ever since, ie for last one and a half year, they have been living separately.
Now they have applied for a divorce. But she is told that she needs to get the marriage registered. She does not wish to register the marriage now as the relationship has already fallen apart. Could you please help me / my friend in guiding as how she could go for separation without registering the marriage at this stage.
thanks

To get the divorce the marriage need not be registered as marriage in absence of registration can validly be solemnised if the essential Hindu rites like Phera is performed.

So no need for insisting on Registration of marriage. You can very much go ahead with the divorce case- either contested or mutual.

your friend has received improper advise. Registration is not necessary for having divorce. It is true that now a days registration of marriage is compulsory. But it does not mean that your friend will not get divorce. If possible go for divorce by consent.
