Request

Sir, if your sister is a Hindu, and has tried her best to find her husband since all these years sincerely, and if she has not found him, she can apply for divorce under S.13 of HMA, and get remmaried after a decree of divorce.

I endorse the view of Suchitra.

It is not the proper section what Mr. Harsh is suggesting.  As you do not know his address, it would be not only difficult but also impossible to serve the court notice on them and until properly court notice is served on the respondent (husband), the court will not grant divorce.

Hence, you can file divorce petition under Section 13 (1) (vii) and in this case, the notice to respondent will be waived and she will get divorce. 

Please cite any judgement of High Court OR Supreme Court where in It was Held

" An order passed after the expiry of stipulated period granted by any court is illegal and without jurisdiction beside the same being contemt of court.
