need advise for divorce for domestic violence..
13-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I want to file a case for divorce because of domestic violence. i want to know:
1) how much time will it take for divorce.
2) some people are advising to discuss in panchayat (is it a right step).
3) what will be the first step to start the procedure
Dear Sir/Madam,
Here is a pointwise reply to your query, namely:-
1. You can surely file petition for divorce on ground of domestic violence under section 13(1)(ia) of The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. However, before you consider filing for divorce you should explore other options such as judicial separation.
It is only after you have finally decided to file for divorce that you should really proceed in that direction. The time it will take may vary from case to case. Though normally a case can take about two to three years.
2. Panchayat does not have the jurisdiction to pass a decree for divorce.
3. The first step for obtaining divorce is to file a petition for divorce in the District Court. A female can file a petition for divorce even at her current place of residence irrespective of the fact that the husband is currently residing within the territorial jurisdiction of a different district court.
