Ex-parte Divorce

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 15 September 2010 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/ madam,

I was married on the 20th December 2009 and lived with in-laws for 3months since then.
After which some issues were created by my husband. I had to go through a lot of harassment
during my 3months stay at my in-laws place. From the next minute he tied the knot he has been harassing me for every little think, where his family members also joins him in doing this.
When he had come to see me for the first time at my place he had no issues with my weight and soon after the wedding my husband and his family members started torturing me for being
fat and ugly. My mother-in-law removed my “mangalsuthra” on the 15th day from the marriage commencement date.

Now its since 6months that I am staying with my mother, its was a usual weekend that I had come to meet my mother and happen to stay here for ever. Now my husband and his family have relocated themselves from Bangalore to Kerala and Dubai. And my advocate has advised me that I would get an Ex-parte Divorce since he is not here in town.

My question to you is, could you please let me know how long will this procedure take to be resolved and the verdict to come, and what are the steps that I need to take once I have got the verdict of Ex-parte Divorce.

Earnestly looking forward for a response from one of the experts!!

A case can proceed ex parte only when summons are served on the respondant. Why don't you go for divorce by mutual consent? It'll be a better option.
