7 months ago
This query is regarding divorce filed under section 13B under Hindu Marriage Act. Is person divorced from when judge signs judgement and announces in court or he will get divorced when court creates decree in future.
A.Dear Client,
In a divorce filed under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, the divorce process is typically initiated by filing a joint petition for dissolution of marriage by mutual consent. The key question you are asking relates to the exact point at which a person is considered legally divorced in such cases.
The legal position is that a person is considered divorced from the date of the decree of divorce itself, which is the date on which the court grants the final decree of divorce. This means that the divorce takes effect on the date mentioned in the decree itself.
Once the judge signs the judgment and announces it in court, it signifies the acceptance of the mutual consent and intentions of the parties to seek a divorce. However, the divorce does not become legally effective until the court creates the final decree, which normally occurs on a subsequent date.
It is crucial to note that until the final decree of divorce is issued, the legal relationship between the parties remains unchanged, and they continue to be considered legally married by law.
Therefore, it is important to complete the necessary formalities and obtain the final decree to ensure that the divorce is legally recognized.
Thank you.
