Q: Divorce if no marraige documents and only 1 or 2 marriage photo

DRaft an Question asking a lawyer that i can file divorce if i don not have any marriage document , No marriage photos , How can i file in such situation , Also its not registered

Advocate Purva Kshatriya answered
Yes, you can file for divorce even if you do not have marriage certificate, as long as you can show that the marriage actually took place. In most cases, proof can be supported through witness statements, wedding invitations, photos from relatives, joint documents, messages, or any other evidence showing the marital relationship. If the marriage was not registered, that does not prevent you from filing divorce. The important point is that a valid marriage existed under the applicable personal law and that the parties lived as husband and wife.

Q: Is there any exact time to file DIVORCE by husband after wife filed DV

I married in February 2022. In August 2022, my wife went to her parents' house for pregnancy and has never returned except for two 2-day visits in January 2023 and August 2024. We have lived separately since then. During the first year, I visited her monthly at her parents' house, but she refused to return. In January 2026, she filed a DV case against me. She is unwilling to resume marital life despite my efforts, and our marriage has effectively broken down. So when to file divorce now or after

Advocate Purva Kshatriya answered
Based on your facts, you may file for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, as there has been a long period of separation and reconciliation efforts have failed. The pending DV case is a separate proceeding and does not stop you from initiating divorce. Keep all records of communication, visits, and attempts to resume marital life, as they will support your case. The grounds for filing divorce can be decided after knowing all the facts.
