Dear client,
As per the details provided by you I would suggest and inform you that a decree of divorce can only be granted by court of District Judge of competent jurisdiction and by no other means it can be done, if any one is saying that it can be done by way notarized documents then either he is not an advocate or his degree is false.

The Supreme Court in 2012 ruled that the waiting period of six months can be waived off and a Marriage Laws Amendment Bill, 2010 was proposed which replaces the words "not earlier than six months" in Section 13-B with the words "Upon receipt of a petition." However the bill has not been yet passed by Lok Sabha as there was strong opposition to the bill and is still under a conflict.

We can conclude that prior to this Act; there was no provision for Divorce as this concept was too radical as the marriage was considered as a sacred and divine bond. In earlier marriages wives were the victims and were always at the mercy of their husbands and in- laws family and had no source to raise their voice and revolt. But we can notice that there are pros and cons of every law. So the lawmakers of our country have a hard role to perform to see the future implications and act in a cautious manner.

no over stamp paper it is not possible, if you both have taken the seven rounds before the sacred fire and have consummated thereafter the marriage is complete, by process of mutual divorce only you can obtain divorce
