Legal Articles
Q1. Is a notarized divorce valid in India? Both parties signed a notary paper in 2012, mutually separated, and have since remarried. Is the original divorce valid?
Advocate Shalini Devi answered:
A divorce on notary paper is not valid. Both parties can file a petition for mutual consent divorce, which will be granted after six months. The second marriages by both individuals are not valid until the first marriage is legally dissolved by a Divorce Decree from the Family Court.
Q2. Is it compulsory to change surname after marriage, if the marriage certificate has not yet been applied for?
Advocate Shalini Devi answered:
It is not mandatory to change your name or add your husband’s surname. You can continue using your maiden name in all documents. Just ensure no government agency defaults to adding your husband’s last name to your records.
Q3. Wife filed fake dowry and domestic violence charges along with an FIR and divorce petition, after staying married for only three months. What should be done?
Advocate Shalini Devi answered:
You will need to appear in court; the first few dates are typically for counselling, followed by filing a written statement addressing each allegation point-wise along with supporting facts. An amicable agreement for mutual consent divorce may also be reached during counselling.
