As per S.13B of the hindu marriage act, the marriage can be dissolved mutually at the behest of the parties. In the first motion, petition has to be filed and within 6 months if the parties are not able to reunite, then in the second motion where the parties has to appear together has to affirm that the matrimonial relationship could not be resumed. Thereafter, the order will be pronounced.

1, You can prepare a petition seeking divorce on the grounds of mutual consent for the incompatibility reasons. This would be a joint petition i.e., both the parties signing the single petition seeking dissolution of marriage by a decree of divorce on the grounds of mutual consent.

2. The court fee and the advocate fee may be inquired locally from the advocate who you would engage.

3. Do not marry the other girl before getting this marriage dissolved by a decree of divorce because such an act may render your proposed marriage as null and void even if your current spouse gives you a NOC for this.

Can you let me know:

- What it means by finalizing the terms of mutual divorce?

Dont get confused reading all such information.

The terms for mutual consent divorce is that you both give in writing in the same petition that you both have no claims from each other and also have exchanged each other's articles, and also she may even state that she will not claim maintenance amount from you anymore in future, and the custody of child (if any), should be decided in the same petition to avoid future litigation in this regard./

In divorce case you may have to visit the court at least two times before its disposal, if the same is filed on the grounds of mutual consent.

Dear Sir,

The following information give you full information. You may contact me on phone if you have any doubts.

Mutual Consent Step by Step Procedure

http://indianexpress.com/article/news-archive/web/marriage-divorce-does-mutual-consent-matter/

Hindus: Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act,a husband and wife can file a mutual divorce only when they have lived apart for at least a year. The couple must jointly mention about inability to continue the marital relationship due to some unavoidable circumstances. Both the sides must voluntarily agree to dissolve the marriage. The filing of a mutual divorce by both the husband and the wife is termed as ‘the first motion’. A couple can file for a second motion after a gap of six months. This time span is provided to the couple so that they get time to reconsider their marriage. A divorce decree can be passed before the completion of the six months term if all the mandatory requirements are sufficed. If the divorce file is not withdrawn within 18 months,the court passes a divorce decree. In case one of the sides withdraws the petition,the court initiates to make an enquiry. If the concerned side disagrees to give the consent,the court holds no right to pass the judgment.
