Yes, you now have the option to electronically submit a petition for mutual dissolution of marriage. The online platform is known as the e-Courts Integrated Mission Mode Project and is available in select states and union territories.

Divorce forms online in India provided by family courts facilitate the filing process. Nevertheless, the subsequent steps remain consistent, necessitating the physical presence of both parties before the family court unless exempt. It is advised that you seek guidance from legal experts for further clarification on the process.

To apply for a divorce online, you can follow these general steps:

1. Visit the official website of the e-Courts Integrated Mission Mode Project or the respective State Judiciary website that offers online filing services. Link - https://districts.ecourts.gov.in/

2. Register as a user on the website by providing the necessary details and creating an account.

3. Access the relevant section for family or matrimonial matters and select the option to file for divorce.

4. Fill out the online divorce petition form, providing all the required information, such as details about you and your spouse, grounds for divorce, and other relevant details, along with relevant documents.

5. Pay the applicable court fees online, as prescribed by the respective court or state.

6. Submit the online divorce petition.

7. After submitting the petition, the court will process your application, and subsequent proceedings will take place according to the established legal procedures.
