Jurisdiction to file for divorce
03-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I got a court marriage 2years back according to hindu marriage act in Nagpur, maharashtra. I want to divorce my husband, as he is abusive and ill treats me. We haven't lived together since one month after our marriage. Can I apply for divorce from any other place, as I am not a resident of Nagpur?
Hi
You can proceed to the family court wherever you are currently residing.
In order to do that you have to provide address proof of that residence.
You will be able file suit at your current location although your marriage was performed at Nagpur.

It is better to file case under the jurisdiction of the court where the marriage was solemnised or where the couple stayed last together as husband & wife. Otherwise file the case where the wife is currently staying.
