Need Suggestion and want to know about the process to file section 9 pettion for marriage issue
Dear client,
To file a Section 9 petition under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, follow these steps:
1. Drafting the Petition – The petitioner (spouse seeking restitution) must file a petition in the family court stating that the other spouse has withdrawn from their company without reasonable cause.
2. Attach Supporting Documents – Marriage certificate, proof of separation, attempts at reconciliation, etc.
3. Filing in the Family Court – Submit the petition at the appropriate jurisdiction where the marriage was solemnized or where the couple last resided together.
4. Court Proceedings – The court will issue a notice to the respondent spouse, conduct hearings, and may refer for mediation before deciding.
5. Final Order – If the court is satisfied, it may pass a decree for restitution. However, if the respondent does not comply within one year, it may be grounds for divorce under Section 13(1A)(ii).
For further assistance, you can contact me.
Dear Client
Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA) deals with restitution of conjugal rights, allowing a spouse to petition the court for the restoration of marital relations when the other spouse has withdrawn from their company without reasonable cause.
