Nullify registration of islamic marriage

Hi

I wanted to ask for advice on this matter. If a islamic marriage (nikah) is registered with the government and a registration certificate is issued, do we need to make it void if divorce (talak) happens?


For this do we need to gain a divorce certificate or divorce verification from the muslim community (jamaat)  and then register the divorce or make the registration of marriage void?

Thank You

Regards

Zaiba

Dear Zaiba

If the husband pronounce talaq three times before witnesses then file a declaration suit before the court u/s 34 of Specific Relief act, 1963

34. Discretion of court as to declaration of status or right.- Any person entitled to any legal character, or to any right as to any property, may institute a suit against any person denying, or interested to deny, his title to such character or right, and the court may in its discretion make therein a declaration that he is so entitled, and the plaintiff need not in such suit ask for any further relief:

 

Provided that no court shall make any such declaration where the plaintiff, being able to seek further relief than a mere declaration of title, omits to do so. Explanation.- A trustee of property is a" person interested to deny" a title adverse to the title of some one who is not in existence, and for whom, if in existence, he would be a trustee.

Dear Respected Pannel Member Nadeem,

My Self Irfaan, Got married in 1997 as per Shariya in Bangalore. I got a son in 2002. Due various reason &

incompatability issues with her, I am staying away from her since 18 months. I moved away from her physically and mentally, reached to a state to take divorce.

    In Between, in 2008, to arrange a visa for her & my son (marriage certificate is must for family visa sponsoring), I registered my marriage in India under Special Marriages Act 1954. in which it states that the marriage conducted in 1997

    What I would like to Ask, is that, To go for a second marriage, DO I need to take divorce from 1st wife ? OR I can go ahead for Second Marriage Without divorce from first wife under Shariya Law?

Kindly advise, ASAP.

With regards,

Irfaan
