Navigating the Complexities of Divorce Law in India
In India, diverse personal laws, influenced by cultural and religious customs, govern marriage and divorce. Whether a marriage ends amicably through mutual consent or is contested in court, the process demands careful and informed legal steps to protect one’s peace of mind and rights.
The Hindu Marriage Act of 1955, for example, outlines specific grounds for divorce, such as adultery, desertion, insanity, conversion, renunciation, and cruelty. For women, additional grounds like bigamy, husband’s criminal offenses, or underage marriage are applicable. In contrast, Muslim marriages, viewed as contractual, are governed by different standards under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939.
