When You’ve Decided to Part Ways

If you and your spouse have mutually agreed to separate and have settled the terms—such as child custody, alimony, and property division—you’re ready to file for mutual consent divorce in India. This process is governed by:

• The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists)
• The Special Marriage Act, 1954 (for interfaith or civil marriages)

Why File in India?

While it’s possible to file for divorce in the country where you currently reside, filing in India is strongly recommended when:

• The marriage was solemnized in India
• You want smoother recognition of the decree for future legal matters, including remarriage

Indian courts offer greater acceptance of mutual divorce decrees, which can be crucial for documentation and legal clarity.

Can You File Without Coming to India?

Yes. Legal Light Consulting enables NRIs to complete the entire process remotely:

• Video Conferencing for court appearances
• Special Power of Attorney (SPoA) to authorize a trusted relative to represent you

We ensure that your rights are protected and your case is handled with full legal compliance.

Why File for Mutual Divorce in India?

While a divorce decree from a foreign court may be valid in India if it meets the criteria of Section 13 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908, it is generally recommended to file for divorce in India if possible.

An Indian decree is more widely accepted and simplifies matters, especially if you plan to remarry in the future.

If you and your spouse have reached a mutual agreement on the terms of separation, including alimony, child custody, and property division, then you are ready to file for a mutual divorce.

Yes, our exclusive services allow you to complete the process through video conferencing or by appointing a relative in India as your SPoA to represent you in court.

Is a mutual divorce decree from a foreign court valid in India?

A mutual divorce decree obtained from a foreign court can be considered valid in India, but it must comply with Indian laws and the provisions of Section 13 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908.

Both of us live abroad. Should we file for divorce in India or abroad?

It is generally advisable to file in India because an Indian divorce decree has a higher acceptance rate, which is crucial for any future remarriage. However, if circumstances prevent this, you can file in the country where you reside, provided it is not an ex-parte decree.
