Re-marriage after Divorce under Hindu Marriage Law

Last updated on Apr 8, 2022

If you want to remarry, you have to wait for 90 days from the date of the Court’s final order, so that your spouse has time to ‘appeal’ against the Court’s decision.

Under the law, you can remarry right after getting the decree of divorce when:

  • The spouse who is unhappy with the decision of the Court has already appealed the decree of divorce, and the Court has dismissed that appeal.
  • There is no right of appeal against the decree of divorce.
  • Where you and your spouse have settled all issues regarding the divorce such as children, property etc. and both of you have decided not to file any more cases.

Please consult a lawyer for this.
