Divorce Divorce

4 years ago

I want to get divorce from husband(only registered marriage with no cohabitation and no child) but he is not agreeing to sign a divorce and wants to harass me in this pending litigation because it's a type of contested divorce. He knows that until he did not give me divorce I cannot go for another marriage. I have already filed a petition in court 3 years back.

A.Hi,

Mere registration of the marriage is not sufficient to prove marriage as it requires to solemnization of the customary ceremonies or the rites or that the parties had performed saptpadi in the manner contemplated under Section 7 of the Act.

We need to understand the nature of the petition filed, grounds and stage of the suit to have a proper opinion. You may need to adopt some tactics like filing maintenance petition u/s 125 of Cr PC, application u/s 24 in the same suits etc etc to draw a quick conclusion.

Thanks

A.As you already mentioned that you have filed a petition 3 years back for the dissolution of marriage in the Hon'ble court.
And since you marriage is a registered marriage divorce is the only way you can dissolve your married life.

In return to the petition you can file one more petition seeking the court for speedy hearing of the matter along with crpc 125 section for the maintance of your living hood from your husband

Karnataka Case Flow Management Rules
http://www.judicialreforms.in/forums/showthread.php?tid=63
SIMILAR RULES ARE FRAMED BY ALL THE HIGH COURTS
the Karnataka High Court has launched the Case Flow Management system.

The Karnataka (Case Flow Management in Subordinate Courts) Rules 2005, as it is called, was gazetted by the State Government almost two years ago. Subsequently, the High Court framed the rules applicable to all suits and civil proceedings before the subordinate civil courts and tribunals.


It divides cases into four tracks.

Disposal in 9 months:

In Track 1 the High court has included suits on maintenance, child custody, appointment of guardians and wards, visiting rights, letters of administration, succession certificate, recovery of rent and permanent injunction. All cases under this category will have to be disposed of within nine months.

Disposal in 12 months:

In Track 2, cases on execution, divorce and ejectment will have to be disposed of within 12 months.


Disposal in 24 months:
Cases to be disposed in 24 months relate to partition, declaration, specific performance, possession, mandatory injunction, appeals, damages, easements, trade marks, copy rights, patents and intellectual property rights.

Disposal in 24 months:

Cases that are not in any of the three categories are included in the fourth category and they too have to be disposed of in 24 months. The presiding officer, however, has the right to dispose of the case earlier.

The rules prescribe a mandatory time limit for various court procedures such as issue of summons/notices. Proceedings shall indicate a maximum of 30 days for filing statement or objection from the date of service.

The procedures for IAs and interim orders and reference to mediation, conciliation or Lok Adalat, appointment of commissioners for recording of evidence, proceedings for perjury, adjournment and even first appeals have also been spelt out.
