Under Indian law, for mutual consent divorce under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, both parties must be present for the final hearing unless the court permits otherwise. Physical presence is generally required to confirm consent. However, courts may allow representation through power of attorney or video conferencing under special circumstances.
You can raise this point in court, requesting the husband’s physical presence for the final hearing. File an application citing inconvenience and the need for personal verification of consent. This is within your rights, and the court may direct him to appear in person. Let me know if you need assistance drafting the application.
