Yes the law provides certain procedures to be followed for seeking Divorce for both the husband as well as wife and the same can be done even if the marriage is not registered and therefore no Marriage Certificate is issued and available.

You do not need any marriage certificate if you want to file a case for divorce but there must be some proof of solemnization of marriage. This is because that till date the registration of marriages what have taken place has not been made mandatory by the legislature.

Dear Ma'am,

You can seek divorce on the basis of marriage photos and marriage invitation card.
You can claim for custody of the child with maintenance.
Please feel free to contact the undersigned for any clarification.

Wish you a very happy holi.
