2)provisions of Muslim personal law would not prevail

1. The subsequent registration of marriage under Special Marriage Act has no force of law as by that time you had already converted your religion and no marriage between two Muslims can be can be registered under SMA.

2. In that event your previous marriage under Sharia Law holds good and hence you will have to seek divorce under the said law only.

3. To do so you can file a suit for dissolution of marriage under Muslim Marriage Dissolution Act.

4. The marriage certificate issued under SMA is a non est under the eye of law.

As you professed to islam and married according to islamic tradition, it is the shariat law which governs the separation of the parties to the marriage.

Dear Client,

Conversion to islam for marriage is not valid.

Your married is effected and registered under special marriage act and subject o same act.

Dissolution of marriage and other relief like Alimony pendente lite, Permanent alimony and maintenance,Custody of children, will govern by SMA.

As the certificate is issued under Special marriage act the application of same will be there. And since there is a mutual.consent divorce there is no conflict with the marriage certificate you can file a joint petition under section 28 special marriage act.

Section 28. Divorce by mutual consent

(2) On the motion of both the parties made not earlier than six months after the date of the presentation of the petition referred to in sub-section (1) and not later than eighteen months after the said date, if the petition is not withdrawn in the meantime, the District Court shall, on being satisfied, after hearing the parties and after making such inquiry as it thinks fit, that a marriage has been solemnized under this Act and that the avertments in the petition are true, pass a decree declaring the marriage to be dissolved with effect from the date of the decree.

Hi, If your marriage is registered under Special Marriage Act then you have to apply for divorce under the Special Marriage Act.

2. Suppose, if it is not registered under Special Marriage Act, then the marriage is not valid one.

Shariat law will be applicable in your Case. Special marriage Act is only applicable in cases in which marriage is solemnized under the said Act.
