Divorce Procedure

 NO,YOU SHOULD GET A DIVORCE DECREE FROM THE FAMILY COURT ONLY. NO SUCH ARRANGEMENTS ARE ENTERTAINED IN INDIAN LAW.

you can get mutaual divorce but there has to be a custom that has been followed like this by the couple. Then it will have a legal validity and if that challenged by any of the parties in future it can be proved. But the best way is get it declared by the court.

Take Care

Mr. Sheetal,

Mutual Divorce on legal stamp papers with Notory is invalid. sec 13 b of the hindu marriage act is there for this purpose, which runs thus :

13B. Divorce by mutual consent.

(1)Subject to the provisions of this Act a petition for dissolution of marriage by a decree of divorce may be presented to the district court by both the parties to a marriage together, whether such marriage was solemnized before or after the commencement of the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Act, 1976, (68 of 1976.) on the ground that

they have been living separately for a period of one year or more,

that they have not been able to live together and

that they have mutually agreed that the marriage should be dissolved.

(2) On the motion of both the parties made not earlier than six months after the date of the presentation of the petition referred to in sub-section (1) and not later than eighteen months after the said date, if the petition is not withdrawn in the meantime, the court shall, on being satisfied, after hearing the parties and after making such inquiry as it thinks fit, that

a marriage has been solemnized and

that the averments in the petition are true,

pass a decree of divorce declaring the marriage to be dissolved with effect from the date of the decree
