Divorce within 6 months of marriage for hindu marriage.on 300 stamp paper

Divorce within 6 months of marriage for Hindu marriage.

My wife asked to divorce on 300 stamp by mutual consent in india ?

I want to sign it for her satisfaction for now but don't want to divorce her. 

What if I signed now on 300 stamp ? Can it will be presented as proof in court while filling petition by mutual consent ? Is it mandatory for me to sign mutual consent petition while filling in court ?

I don't want to divorce her but I want to sign mutual divorce  agreement on 300 stamp for her satisfaction.

No such divorce is valid in law.

Ok sir .

Can this agreement be used as evidence in the court in future ?

What if I do not follow this agreement? I.e. any penalty or punishment for violation of this divorce agreement?

Such agreement has no value in eye of law and simply it will be a waste paper..

Whether it be mutual or not, a divorce decree can only be pronounced by the competent court in India.

it is not divorce in the eye of law.

P. Venu (Advocate)     19 January 2023

The arrangement could be valid if such a recgnised custom is prevalent in the community as a matter of right.  Please see Section 3(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act

"29. Savings.

(1) --------------------------------

 (2) Nothing contained in this Act shall be deemed to affect any right recognised by custom or conferred by any special enactment to obtain the dissolution of a Hindu marriage, whether solemnized before or after the commencement of this Act.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

It is a question of facgt whether such a recognised  custom is in force in the community.

please clarify the custormary rights if any.
