Hello,
You may move a correction application before the concerned court and the order will be modified accordingly.
A decree under a wrong section will be of no use for you.

Our marriage was consummated as per provision of the special marriage act in 2013. We could not sustain the marital tie and prayed for mutual divorce u/s 28 of the said act and the order was passed on 10/1/2019. When I got the certified copy I found surprisingly that it is written on the certified order copy that the marriage dissolved u/s 13B of Hindu marriage act which is a complete mistake on the judicial/clerical side. It should have been u/s 28 of special marriage act in place of 13B of Hindu marriage act. Now please suggest me what needs to be done? My lawyer is saying " divorce is divorce. It wont cause any problem." I have doubt in my mind whether it will affect my future relation. Please suggest something.

You can make application to court for speaking to
minures of order
2) mention that order inadvertently mentions divorce is granted under HMA rather than section 28 of SMA
3) court would permit necessary corrections in the order
You should file an application before concerned court for rectifying of error / mistake typographical the concerned court shall pass an order it is important to get same rectified.
1. There is a dfect in the said decree of divorce passed by the concerned Court which is required to be corrected.
2. Hope there was no mistake made in the MCD petition filed by both of you which has promted the Court to make the said mistake.
3. However, you shall have to file a petition praying for restoration of the said case and make the necessary amendment in the said dcree.
4. It is to be noted that you should never mention that the Court has made mistake and error. the Court shall have to amend its order.
You can file a petition before the same court seeking rectification of the order/judgment rectifying the pointed out mistake.
You are right that this is improper, since your marriage took place under special marriage act and it cannot be dissolved under HMA.
Hello,
1) The error is a serious one and needs to be rectified by the same court that passed the order.
2) Your lawyer can make a Miscellaneous Application to the same court seeking rectification of the error in the order/decree. It is also advisable to meet the Registrar concerned and seek his suggestion before an application is filed in court..
1) It should have problem as special marriage act and hindu marriage act are mostly similar. And Divorce definition may be same in both acts.
Sir i would advice you to Kindly Move and application for rectification of the same, as it might lead to confusions in future.
If it is typing error then it can be rectified by giving application to the court of law regarding the error occurred on face it self. Time limit is with in seven days of application given to court.
1. Marriage is not consummated as per the provision of any act. Be that as it may, this is a typographical error which goes to the root of the maintainability of the decree itself. Hence it is imperative that you file an application to rectify the decree immediately.
2. File the application for rectification immediately.
The marriage was solemnized as per the special marriage act and therefore the divorce can only be obtained under the above act. The decree obtained has no value and is unenforceable. You have to filea correction application before the court and the court shall correct the order.

Well, it cause no problem but defect must be clarified when it is easily noticeable. File application u/s 152 CpC in court.
Dear Sir,
Nothing to worry, the following information may kindly be read:
Divorce by mutual consent is addressed under S. 13 B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and Section 28 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954.
For this section to apply there are certain requirements which have to be met and fulfilled by both the parties to the divorce which can be stated as follows:
The Supreme Court in 2012 ruled that the waiting period of six months can be waived off and a Marriage Laws Amendment Bill, 2010 was proposed which replaces the words "not earlier than six months" in Section 13-B with the words "Upon receipt of a petition." However the bill has not been yet passed by Lok Sabha as there was strong opposition to the bill and is still under a conflict.
We can conclude that prior to this Act; there was no provision for Divorce as this concept was too radical as the marriage was considered as a sacred and divine bond. In earlier marriages wives were the victims and were always at the mercy of their husbands and in- laws family and had no source to raise their voice and revolt. But we can notice that there are pros and cons of every law. So the lawmakers of our country have a hard role to perform to see the future implications and act in a cautious manner.
