Divorce Refiling Process Explained

Summary

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a couple must be separated for at least one year before filing for mutual consent divorce. If the separation period was less than six months, the court may not have jurisdiction to grant the divorce. To refile, ensure you meet the one-year separation requirement, prepare a new petition, and consult your lawyer to avoid previous procedural issues.
