The trial also has not began in this case.
It is just beginning or preliminary stage.
It appears to be a contested case.
Hence it may take another two years to get disposed, it cannot be predicted.
1. It can not be foretold when she will get the decree of divorce or whether she will at all get it or not.
2. It all depends on how her Advocate is moving the matter in the Court.
3. it is still at the Conciliation stage which te Court shall have to complete as per the direction of the Apex Court.
4. If conciliation fails, the case will go to the next stage of filing of written objection by the other side and thereafter evidence will be examined after filing examination in chief.
5. You might have to wait for at least 2 more years to get the case dispose of.
6. Meantime both og you can stay together, the act of which has now been de-criminalised by the Apex court.
sir
looks like it is a contested divorce proceeding and it may take time. no certain period may be given for this. but looks like it has just started last year in 2019, so if it is a contested case then it will take minimum 2-5 years, unless you get luck and it ends earlier or it becomes mutual divorce.
Sir if we decide to live together then is there any problem? Can we live together without registering our marriage? What will happen if we register our marriage without divorce?
The evidences for marriage is more than enough to prove your marriage with her.
The registration of marriage is a mere formality hence it will not play a pivotal role for divorce or living together.
If you have decided to live together with her, you can reconcile the difference through a mediation session and make her agree for your proposal and start living with her together once again by withdrawing the pending divorce case.
Adultery is no longer an offence
You are at liberty to stay with the girl
if you marry her then her husband can file case against you of bigamy under section 494 of IPC
you can live together if she is fine with that as now there is no legal problem in it.
you cannot marry with her till she gets divorce legally. so no question of registration of marriage.
since you cannot marry legally therefore there will be no registration of it.
if you used forged papers for any purpose then it will be a criminal offence.
1. If she is not yet divorced then you cannot marry her unless she obtains a decree of divorce. Both of you can be prosecuted for the offence of bigamy under Section 494 IPC.
2. Due to Covid-19 the courts across the country are hearing only urgent cases. Since divorce cases are not urgent by any stretch of the imagination the courts are adjourning those to further dates. It should take around a year from here.
3. You are free to live together.
