Andheri court does not have jurisdiction to grant divorces. If either of you reside in Mumbai or your place of marriage was Mumbai then Mumbai has the jurisdiction and the family court is situated at Bandra East. Besides that it is impossible to get divorce in 2 hours, as it a mandate to wait for minimum 6 months after filing for divorce.

Dear client, It is shocking and surprise to hear and This is illleagal. Andheri court is magistrate court and this court has no power to grant divorce. In mumbai Family court and in other cities District court has only power to grant divorce. Even divorce deed is also not legal.

As per your query If you have married by performing proper rituals or by registering your marriage you need approach a competent court i.e. the Family Court at Bandra and obtain divorce from that court. In your case such kind of divorce is illegal and does not have any legal effect in the eyes of law.
