Mutual Consent Divorce for NRIs Under Special Marriage Act – Legal Support by Legal Light Consulting (LLC)

In today’s global world, many Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) enter into marriages in India under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. However, when such marriages do not work out, and both parties wish to dissolve the marriage peacefully, they often opt for divorce by mutual consent.

A recent example of such a case was filed in the Court of the Senior Civil Judge, Delhi, where two individuals approached the court jointly as Petitioner No. 1 and Petitioner No. 2, seeking the dissolution of their marriage under Section 28 of the Special Marriage Act.

The case was structured with the following documents:

1. Memo of Parties – Details of both petitioners.

2. Joint Petition – Filed under Section 28 of the Special Marriage Act, seeking mutual consent divorce.

3. Affidavits – By both petitioners confirming their mutual agreement and separation.

4. Residence Proof – To establish jurisdiction.

5. Vakalatnama – Authorizing legal representation.

This legal process is smooth, straightforward, and respectful, especially when both parties are willing to separate amicably without any disputes.
