A.Dear client
In India, divorce laws vary based on personal laws that apply to different religious communities. Since you mentioned that you are Christian, Christian personal laws would be applicable in your case. Christian marriages in India are governed by the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872. For a mutual consent divorce under the Christian Marriage Act, the following conditions generally need to be met:
Separation Period: The law may require the spouses to have been living separately for a certain period before filing for divorce. This separation period can vary.
Mutual Consent: Both parties should mutually agree to seek a divorce.
Settlement Agreement: The parties need to agree on the terms of the settlement, including matters related to alimony, custody of children (if any), and division of assets.
