Proof of Divorce under Hindu Marriage Law

Last updated on Apr 8, 2022

The proof that your divorce has happened is the Court’s final order known as ‘decree of divorce’. This is in the form of an order, which is a document that enforces your divorce.

A decree of divorce is final when either of the two happens:

  • The spouse who is unhappy with the decision of the Court has already appealed the decree of divorce within 90 days, and the Court has dismissed that appeal.
  • There is no right to appeal.

Please consult a lawyer for more information on this.
