Divorce kaise file kare?

Agar aap divorce file karna chahte hain, toh ye process thoda complicated aur emotional ho sakta hai. India mein divorce do tarah se ho sakta hai: mutual consent divorce ya contested divorce. Main aapko donon tarikon mein process samjha deta hoon.

1. Mutual Consent Divorce (Section 13B, Hindu Marriage Act)

Ye tab hota hai jab donon pati-patni divorce ke liye agree karte hain.

1. Mutual Agreement: Pehle pati-patni dono ko divorce ke liye agree karna hoga. Unko children ki custody, property division, aur maintenance jaise issues pe discuss karna hoga.
2. Family Lawyer se Consult: Ek family lawyer se consult karo jo aapko court process samjha sake aur legal documents taiyar karne mein madad kare. Lawyer ki fees ₹10,000 se ₹50,000 tak ho sakti hain.
3. Divorce Petition File Karein: Lawyer aapke liye family court mein ek divorce petition file karega. Iss petition mein aapki marriage ke details, mutual agreement, aur children ki details honi chahiye.
4. Court Hearing: Court aapko aur aapke partner ko call karegi aur unse mutual agreement ke bare mein puchhegi. Agar sab theek hai, toh court 6 mahine ka waiting period laga sakta hai.
5. Final Order: 6 mahine ke baad, agar donon parties agree karte hain, toh court divorce ka final order pass karega.

2. Contested Divorce (Section 13, Hindu Marriage Act)

Ye tab hota hai jab sirf ek hi party divorce chahta hai.

1. Divorce Petition File Karein: Aapko family court mein ek lawyer ke through divorce petition file karna hoga. Iss petition mein divorce ke reasons (jaise cruelty, adultery, desertion) batane hote hain.
2. Court Notice: Court aapke partner ko divorce ke notice bhejega aur unhe reply dene ka time dega.
3. Court Hearing: Court donon parties ko call karegi aur divorce ke reasons sunegi. Agar zaroori ho, toh court investigation bhi kar sakti hai.
4. Evidence Submit Karein: Aapko evidence (jaise medical reports, messages, witnesses) submit karne honge jo aapke claims ko prove karte hon.
5. Final Order: Court sabhi evidence dekhne ke baad divorce de ya nahi, ye decide karegi. Iss process mein 2-5 saal tak ka time lag sakta hai.
