There is no procedure of reversal of mutual consent divorce decree.

You both will have to get the registration process done again.

You need to remarry that is better option as divorce is already granted in case and reversal may take long

You can do a religious marriage in temple or a.court marriage.

No there is no possibility of reversing the mutual consent divorce.

The only possible way to get together is marry each other again.

The decree of court once passed can only be set aside by process of law on the set provision of law.

The will of the parties or their change of heart has nothing to do with the process of law.

Now your only recourse is to remarry again and law is always in favour to register the marriage between the two willing couple.

So without thinking much about the mistake visit the nearest marriage registrar and get your marriage registered.

It is not clear whether decree is passed or not.

If not then you can withdraw the consent.

Else remarriage is only option.

Hi

If  the Judgement is not passed yet, both of you file a Joint memo seeking the withdrawal of the MCD on 22.07.2019 itself, convince the court that  you want to withdraw the said MCD. 

It is your problem, most likely the court will consider your  representation.

Good Luck.

Try to file a joint petition today itself and both should present before the court in person along with your advocate.  In case judgement is not signed yet, court may find out a way to consider your case.

Dear Sir,

The following information may kindly be read:

Can a Divorce Decree Be Reversed?

Undergoing an elaborate divorce process is certainly reckoned by no sense of regret. The settlement agreement reflects the concordance between the spouses. But during and after the breakup, there are number of circumstantial changes as well as new discoveries that can cause one of the spouse or both to reconsider the earlier decisions. There are certain circumstances where marital settlement agreement can be modified only with the parties’ mutual consent.

But in some cases, after considerable period of time, couple may realize to restore the marriage. But can a divorce decree be reversed under Indian Law?

In a country like India, a land of diversified religious communities with distinct marriage laws, separate laws have been implemented for couple belonging to distinct religious beliefs:

  1. Divorce among Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains are governed by Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
  2. Parsis by the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936
  3. Muslims by the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939
  4. Christians by the Indian Divorce Act, 1869
  5. Civil and inter-community marriages are governed by Special Marriage Act, 1956
  6. The Foreign Marriage Act,1969

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 elucidate different theories of divorce-fault, mutual consent, breakdown ad also explains the ground for divorce under this Act.

But reversal of divorce decree is clearly specified in Indian Divorce Act 1869. According to it, the decree of separation can be reversed during the absence of husband or wife. Here desertion is the suitable ground where husband or wife, a decree of judicial separation has been pronounced, can present a petition to the court.  On this ground, the court can be presented with a petition on account of his or her absence with a reasonable excuse for the alleged desertion. After being satisfied of the truth of the allegations on such petition, the court may reverse the decree accordingly. But it ensures that reversal must not affect the rights or remedies or must not render prejudice in respect of contracts, debts or acts of the wife incurred with the span of the sentence of the separation and reversal thereof.

In general, there is no easy way to revoke the divorce degree but if any of the spouse filed the divorce petition earlier, then the other party can go to the court and possess the right to challenge accordingly. A statement can be issued if both the spouses want to live together. With the immediate effect, the High Court would dismiss the divorce decree and may allow the appeal.

If your divorce is about to be pronounced by the court then you need not to worry about and in any case you are free to go for another marriage with the same lady and you can get your marriage registered as well during this period there is no provision that both of you cannot live together

 so just forget the divorce and get marry again in court

If the court has pronounced that the case has been decreed as prayed for in the open court then it has been decreed and it cannot be reversed at this stage.

You may enquire from the court clerk about the position of the case and if possible then file a petition seeking to withdraw the divorce case if the judgment has not been pronounced.

after hearing both the party on the second motion, if the court reserved the judgment and posted the matter to some other day and if that date has not come then you can file a petition to advance the hearing for the reason that you are filing a memo to withdraw the case and to treat it as not pressed and dismissed.

You first ascertain the status of the case through  the bench  clerk of that court and then with the help of your advocate follow the procedure as stated above.

Tge mutual consent divorce petition has been signed by you and accepted by the courts. The divorce is done. The judgement and the decree would be passed by the court in a few days but it would be dated the day when you filed tge 2nd motion.

Therefore you are now divorced. If you think that it is a mistake then you can again marry each other.
