Family court established only for solved the family related matters.

District court is - District Magistrate Court.

Woman can file a suit from there where she living OR where marriage done OR where husband wife last reside.

So you can file suit from Dehli.

As per your details- your marriage done in Arya Samaj mandir- Its seems your marriage is love based. So whats the reason- why you desire to divorse.

Try to sattel your life with help of mediation or disscussion.

If needs further legal help- freely ask.

Family Court is established by the state government under Section 3 of the Family Courts act of 1984. A judge of the Family Court  is appointed with the Consultation of the High Court and one or more persons may be appointed to be the Judge or Judges of the Family Court, and is distinct from the District court. Find out if family Court has been established in Ghaziabadornot, as Family Court is established in an area having more than one million population, if not you have to approach Family court in Delhi.

you can file it in delhi court under whose jurisdiction your marriage was registered in delhi.

You can file case in Delhi.  In Delhi for some areas, family courts are there in some areas, the Additional District Judge will decide the cases.  The area of your case will be decided on the basis of the residential address you give in your petition.

I disagree. You cannot file divorce in Delhi if you are not resident of Delhi or last resided in Delhi.

Your case is to be filed before family court, if established in the state/district, otherwise District Court.

If marriage was solemnized in Delhi, the Delhi court would acquire jurisdiction.

 

Also in Tis Hazari Court there is no family court, ADJ decides these matters.

district court/ or family ct, of your area of residence at the time ofd filing divorce petition is your jurisdiction.

i differ

 

where the marriage was solemnized

where parties last resided together

where the respondent is staying

 

are the courts which would have jurisdiction.
