Husband not appearing on second motion of Mutual Divorce
30-Jul-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I had applied for mutual consent divorce and first motion is completed in Jan 2017 now my husband is not coming on desired second motion date . Please suggest what can be done in this scenario. Husband is out of India . Can I withdraw MCD and go for contested . In case I do that will I have to return amount I received in second motion.
A close reading of section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, makes it clear that a divorce by mutual consent can be granted only if both the parties appear voluntarily on the First motion as well as on the Second motion.
If your husband is not appearing before the court, under such circumstances neither you nor the court can force him to appear and make a statement. Even after making efforts, if your husband does not appear, then the option available to you is to withdraw the petition and file a petition under different grounds as enumerated under Section 13(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act.
