Are ST from rajasthan governed under Hindu Marriage Act or not?
03-Nov-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I was married in 2011. My wife stayed with me for a couple a weeks in Delhi and she left for home and didn't comeback. I filed for section 9 thereafter she filed for divorce. I am a Schedule tribe from Rajasthan. I want to know if ST are governed under the Hindu Marriage Act or not because ex-parte divorce has been passed.
Yes Schedule Tribes are also Hindu and your marriage will be governed by Hindu Marriage Act.
