Can divorce be granted if marriage is not registered


07-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I got married in 2009 at a marriage hall not registered married yet. I want divorce as we have no conjugal relationship at all these years. I gave time but that ended up to almost 7 years. She also harasses me. Kindly advise, i am also in love with another girl where everything will go smooth in my life. But want to do things legally.

You can get divorce even without registration of marriage. You consult and discuss more and file an appropriate suit for seeking divorce. You can apply your mind and put various grounds then apply for divorce. Consult more.

Yes, you can file for the divorce on producing relevent documents as proof of marriage. You should also need to establish grounds for divorce such as desertion, cruelty, adultery, conversion etc.

Read your query, even if you have not registered your marriage also u should get your marriage dissolved by filing a Divorce Petition before the Family court if you have performed a valid marriage. U can apply for Mutual Consent Divorce if your wife agrees to. And this will be the only smooth way

You can apply for Divorce and contest the case. However since you want to move on and settle in life with another woman, I recommend that you talk to your wife and try to file a Joint Petition for Divorce by Mutual Consent as it is quicker - 6 months from the date of filing and in total about 7 months after which you will be officially separated and you can continue with your life. If your wife is not willing to file the Joint Petition, then it is recommended that you file a Divorce Case and contest it.
