Divorce query on parentssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
22-Apr-2023 (In Family Law)
My mother and father are living separately for about 20 years now. Whereabouts of my father are unknown. I’m looking for information on legal separation or divorce to be executed for my mother.
Can someone advice on the legal outcomes?
two years of non existence or no contact is a ground for divorce. you can file a HMOP petition at your local district court or family court under desertion. Sec. 13(1)(ib) Hindu Marriage Act. The petitioner has a burden of proving and has to prove it beyond reasonable doubt to use desertion as a ground.
