Quick Divorce in India within 10 Days. Divorce Lawyer in Chennai - 9840787702

If a Hindu married couple is separating by mutual consent then they no longer need to wait for six months for getting a separating order from the court. Supreme Court held that marriage between two Hindus can be legally terminated in just a week as the “cooling off” period can be waived off as it is not mandatory. The Apex court clarified that if all the efforts to reunite parties and mediation and conciliation also fails between them then the wait for a six-month period can be done away with. This ruling was passed by the court after a petition was filed by a couple seeking direction to waive off the cooling off period as they have been living separately for 8 years and they had already settled all issues pertaining to child custody and alimony.The couple made a plea before the Supreme Court that delay in divorce would affect their chances to resettle in life. In the present matter, the court took a stand that delay in proceedings only prolongs subsequent resettlement. Waiving off period can be considered if the parties have been living separately already for a year. The court said, “The object of the provision is to enable the parties to dissolve a marriage by consent if the marriage has irretrievably broken down and to enable them to rehabilitate them as per available options. The amendment was inspired by the thought that forcible perpetuation of the status of matrimony between unwilling partners did not serve any purpose. The object of the cooling off period was to safeguard against a hurried decision if there was otherwise the possibility of differences being reconciled.” The bench comprising of Justice AK Goel and UU Lalit said that the object of the cooling off period is to safeguard against a hurried decision taken by a couple to get separated and to allow them to explore ways to settle their disputes however this could not be made mandatory. As per Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage if both the parties do not change their pleas for divorce in a time period not less than six months and not later than 18 months, then the court pass the decree to declaring the marriage to be dissolved. The court observed that the period of six months to 18 months provided in section 13B is an interregnum to give time and opportunity for the couple to reflect on their move. This period can be waived off if conciliation fails and parties have genuinely settled their differences pertaining to alimony, custody of the child or any other issues pending between them. The bench observed, “The object was not to perpetuate a purposeless marriage or to prolong the agony of the parties when there was no chance of reconciliation. Though every effort has to be made to save a marriage, if there are no chances of reunion and there are chances of fresh rehabilitation, the court should not be powerless in enabling the parties to have a better option.” The Supreme Court bench after examining all the issues came to the conclusion that Section 13B(2) is mandatory and not a directory. The court held that the cooling off period could be waived off if the court is satisfied that the parties are living separately for more than a year with no chance of reconciliation and a further waiting period would only prolong their agony. The bench held that the parties can file a waiver application just one week after the divorce petition is filed and the court will take a call on the waiving off period.

India denies rights for surrogacy mothers

The country where mothers were worshiped as gods denies surrogacy mothers legal status. And she have no legal or any customary rights over the child. The rights of the surrogacy mother was put an end by a gestational surrogacy agreement and the intended parents in the agreement will have all the legal rights over the child born on surrogacy. The ICMR guidelines 2005 even denies the visitation rights of mother for the child delivered by her which was in the mothers paradise for 9 months and 10 days. The child born by surrogacy have on records as mother and father only the intended parents not the surrogacy mother. And no need for the court to interfere in this matter and the agreement signed by the parties in the surrogacy will prevail. The Indian laws only recognize the intended mother as the legal mother. The parental responsibility only applies to the intended parents and the surrogate mother cannot claim any right over the child. Surrogacy is a well known method of reproduction whereby a woman agrees to become pregnant for the purpose of gestating and giving birth to a child she will not raise but hand over to a contracted party. She may be the child's genetic mother (the more traditional form for surrogacy) or she may be, as a gestational carrier, carry the pregnancy to delivery after having been implanted with an embryo. In some cases surrogacy is the only available option for parents who wish to have a child that is biologically related to them. Even the surrogacy mother cannot change her mind before the child birth and she will be always in the clutch of surrogacy agreement and she will be penalized for violation of the agreement. The Mother goddess are now converted in to child vending machines and even denied some basic rights which the world customs provided. As per the IMCR guidelines the surrogacy child cannot seek the information of the genetic parents and surrogacy parents until the child reaches 18 years. And even after that the child cannot get the information of the name and address of the gamete donor and the surrogate is excluded from the information. In this juncture the state should enact laws for the rights of surrogacy mother and child from (i) deprivation and violation of child rights (ii) non-implementation of laws providing for protection and development of children and (iii) non-compliance of policy decisions, guidelines or instructions aimed at mitigating hardships to and ensuring welfare of the children and to provide relief to such children, or take up the issues arising out of such matters with appropriate authorities.

Will Muslim men loose divorce rights

Will Muslim men undergo lawlessness for Divorce when Triple Talaq is banned in India. Now Triple talaq comes under the scanner of Judicial review of the Indian constitution by the supreme court of India in Shayara Bano v. Union of India case. In India fastest divorce is obtained by the Muslim men’s. There is no court to decide the case or no grounds of divorce for Muslim men’s to dissolve the marriage. But for Muslim women’s the dissolution of Muslim marriage Act, is the solution to get divorce from proper court for the limited grounds they have. In case of men there was no barrier or bondages in dissolving their marriage expect to pay maintenance for the iddat period which is maximum 3 month’s and to return the mahar amount. In India the state cannot enact any law which are gender biased under Article 15. It is on the open platforms that Triple talaq is against women’s and gender biased. Muslim men’s get divorce very faster than other men’s who want to wait for decades in the family court. And even in mutual consent an Hindu and a Christian should wait 6 months period after filing the case to have a decree under mutual consent with an pre-condition that the couples are separated one and two years before filing the case for Hindus and Christians respectively. But for the Muslims there was no such waiting period for mutual consent divorce, since they had no codified law except their personal law read with section 65 of Verma Act. Some deliberate discussions are going on whether personal law will come under the ambit of the state law. Some arguments are going the gender biased is the scale for the enactment of state laws and not for personal laws. Even on the recommendations of the law commission of India the gender biased personal laws of Hindus are converted in to gender equality codified laws. The abolition of coparcenery system and equal rights of property for women’s are the modern revolutionary laws in India. The draconian personal laws are now codified in to the rights protection laws. To put an end for all this disputes the Indian parliament should enact codified laws for the governance of Muslim matrimonial disputes as the other religions have their own in this country. Strucking of Triple Talaq without proper laws will bring only chaos in the Muslim community. For all your queries write to Daniel & Daniel Whattsapp Service No.9840802218.

Can contempt lies against who withdraws Mutual consent

After signing the agreement by mutual consent to file for divorce, will either of the partner face contempt proceedings if they have any 2nd thought? That is the question the Delhi HC asked recently while referring to a batch of 8 separate divorce petitions to a larger bench. There have been contradictory views in earlier rulings Justice Manmohan expressed some serious doubts on the practice of the courts hauling up spouses for contempt if they fail to honour their earlier stand of divorce by mutual consent during the 6 month “cooling off” period. Section 13 B of the Hindu Marriage Act allows for ‘divorce by mutual consent’ in a 2 step process. The 1st motion of divorce can be filed by a couple if they haven’t been living together for at least one year. After this, the law mandates a “waiting period or cooling off period” of 6 to 18 months. When this period ends, the spouses can either withdraw their consent, & attempt to continue their married life, or file the 2nd motion for divorce, after this their separation is finalized. Even in the case of a “contested divorce”, where there’s a criminal complaint filed by either of the spouses or any 1 of them comes to court for a divorce against the other’s will- the couple gets a waiting period to resolve the differences. During this period of mediation, if the partners agree to the terms of getting mutual separation, then they file a plea for divorce by mutual consent. Say, a couple has filed a divorce petition under Sec. 13B(1) (divorce by mutual consent) or a motion under Section 13B(2) of the Act or both, but then 1 of them decides to change their mind in view of the option to renege/reconsider their decision of taking divorce by mutual consent under Section 13 B(2) of the Act”. the question is whether they should be held liable for contempt? It was raised before the single Bench of the Delhi High Court recently. The Apex Court, and Benches of Mumbai High Court and Delhi High Court earlier have given differing judgments on finality of agreement in the divorce mediations. In one case, the wife had refused to file the 2nd motion through mutual consent for divorce, after receiving part payment of the alimony, as she had “changed her mind” about the terms of custody for her child. The High Court had said that the “erring spouse” can’t be allowed to “take any advantage” of the option allowed in the cases of divorce by mutual consent. Citing many “contradicting judgments”, Justice Manmohan expounded that since Apex Court has held that the “consent” for divorce must “continue till date of the decree”, the right of parties to change their minds cannot be taken away.

Divorce support for men. Dealing with divorce and separation.

Article by M Porteous

With the statistics showing that divorce is at an all time high the level of support for divorcees has skyrocketed to help people get through this very difficult time in their lives and find a way to move on. Unfortunately that level of support is extremely skewed to help women, not men dealing with divorce! So with divorce support for men so low what does a man after divorce do? OR perhaps more importantly what should they NOT do!

The first problem most guys face is coping with the reality of being a divorcee. This can sometimes take some time to sink in and before the realization settles men can go through a wide range of emotions and actions. Many can refuse to believe they are really divorced, in their hearts they are still married even if they do not feel in love and others feel in love but feel separated. To cope with these things men will usually do one of two things: Nothing or Everything! When they do nothing they can become deeply depressed and a recent statistic shows they are much more likely than the woman to commit suicide, whether this stems from the lack of support for men compared to women or just that men are more susceptible to these things is unclear but since men are usually creatures of action doing the opposite can be very detrimental to their mental health.The opposite effect is that the man tries to cope with this new situation by doing as much as he can with his life so he does not have to focus on his emotions. A great focus on work or on socializing or some other activity to keep himself busy becomes the main goal in the mans life. While this can be better than the lethargy of depression men often do things they regret during this period such as; sleeping around to fill the void of intimacy, alcoholism, getting into fights, and of course not resolving their emotional conflict.To compound these issues women are more likely to have a social network of friends they can rely on to help them emotionally whereas the man will not have the relationships with his friends to talk about such things and the man himself may not feel comfortable looking for help from other men even professionals.

So where is a divorced man suppose to go for help? There may be no perfect advice for men after divorce and while we can generalize on the character of males we are all different enough that we all need different solutions. The best advice I have heard however that man is is a natural problem solver, give a man the information and tools he needs to solve a problem and he will eventually build something that works. Divorce support for men may simply be giving a man as much easily accessed information so he can occupy himself with solving his own problems. Men dealing with divorce and separation may always be seen as lesser problem than the women but thanks to the internet it is much easier for men to access the help they need without the social stigma and embarrassment they might feel in real life.
