Hello all, I want to ask that if a person is seperated and divorce by way of customary way on stamp paper agreement before 6 years as per custom prevailing in his community(Christian-Gujarat). Now this person wants to go for declaration suit for divorce under Bare Act code of civil procedure 1809 rule 1 order 32A which covers HMA and SMA.So is this the right suit for declaration?? Please advice for the declaration suit only..Thank you

the provision may apply, but that provision is basically for in camera proceedings of such type of cases.
you need not to mention any specific provision of law while filing a suit for Declaration.
but keep in mind, the relevant custom is required to be proved by the person asserting such custom.

No you cannot go for declaration suit. You will have to file divorce petition
