1) notarised divorce is not valid

2) divorce decree has to be pronounced by court to be valid among hindus

3) Mahendra Nath Yadav Vs Sheela Devi (Supreme Court of India)

Held: Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, ss. 9 and 13-B -A divorce got through the panchayat as per the local customs of a particular community will not be recognised by any court of law. A divorce, in order to be legalised, mandatorily requires a judicial decree from a court of law and nothing less would do. Dissolution of marriage through panchayat as per custom prevailing in that area and in that community permitted cannot be a ground for granting divorce under Section 13 of the Act, 1955. HC has rightly held that dissolution of marriage through Panchayat as per custom prevailing in that area and in that community permitted cannot be a ground for granting divorce u/s. 13 of the Act, 1955 - Moreover, in case the appellant wanted a decree on the basis of customary dissolution of marriage through Panchayat, he would not have filed a petition u/s. 13 of the Act, 1955 - Filing this petition itself means that none of the parties was of the view that the divorce granted by the Panchayat was legal - No reason to interfere with the well-reasoned judgment of the HC - Appeal dismissed

Yes, notarised divorce has no force of law or the same is non est in the eye of law.

You have done a great mistake of marrying this lady without getting decree of divorce from court of law.

Since without divorce decree you have married here you can be criminally prosecuted under charges of bigamy by her first husband.

The subsequent marriage of her first husband does not improve the case either.

So if you want relief then get your wife obtain divorce from her first husband fast.

Since you are in live in relationship with your wife since 14 years, it is a deemed marriage in the eye of law. Hence need not worry. You can approach the court and get your marriage valid. The court considers your request. Once your marriage is validated, your wife will be legally bounded. If she goes with her first husband, you can file adultery and cheating case on her.

Hello,

1) The divorce obtained with a notarized document has no validity before the eye of the law and therefore the first marriage in either cases subsists and your marriage is not legal

2) The practical and legal solution to the current impasse if the parties involved are consenting, is to file for divorce by mutual consent whereby a decree of divorce can be obtained from the court legally ending the marriage.

3) The fact is that you need to get married agin in some acceptable form(ritual) or register your marriage to get your marriage validated legally.

Divorce can be valid only if there is any custom or tradition otherwise the marriage is void.

Marriage can be declare null and void under section 11 &12 of hindu marriage act-1955

Hi, As per law Notarized Divorce is not valid in the eyes of the law. If the divorce is obtained in the court of law then only it is valid.

2.Her husband can not stay with the other lady which will be illegal act of adultery on her part.

A notarised divorce is nothing but just a divorce deed which is not valid in the eyes of law.

However since it is your ignorance, ignorance of law cannot be claimed as excuse, but on the basis of a settled law in Bombay high court on the similar lines, she can even now apply for divorce on mutual consent grounds with her first husband seeking dissolution o her first marriage by a decree o divorce through court of law. Based on the existing divorce deed and owing to her present situation she can apply for waiving the 6 months cooling off period too and can get the divorce immediately with a mention about the existing notarised divorce deed.

My wife now intends to go to the shelters of her first husband (who is also married with a lady where this

lady has also took NOTARIZED DIVORCE from her husband). Is there any legalized way so that my wife

can safely go to the house of her first husband to live with her son WITHOUT ANY HASSLES THEREOF.

Since her marriage with her first husband wa not legally dissolved and as per law she is still his legally wedded wife, she can very well rejoin him without any problem, there can be no legal hassles or issue on this.
