Mutual Divorce in Chandigarh: the process in Chandigarh
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Chandigarh follow Chandigarh's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. s.13B Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (s.28 Special Marriage Act; s.10A Divorce Act, 1869 for other communities). Procedure and forum under the Family Courts Act, 1984. Heard by the Family Court / District Courts, Chandigarh, supervised by the Punjab & Haryana High Court.
How mutual divorce works in Chandigarh
- Draft and file the joint petition under s.13B(1) before the Family Court, Sector 43, with documents, settlement terms and court fees
- First Motion: both parties appear, statements recorded and the petition registered
- Cooling-off period of 6 months for reconciliation, waivable per Amardeep Singh (2017)
- Second Motion: after 6 months (or on waiver) and within 18 months, both appear again and statements re-recorded confirming consent
- The court satisfies itself the consent is genuine and free, then passes the decree of divorce
Documents required in Chandigarh
- Marriage certificate / proof of marriage (plus wedding photos/invitation)
- Address proof of both spouses (Aadhaar, etc.)
- Identity proof of both spouses
- Passport-size photographs of both
- Proof of being separated for one year or more
- Income/financial details for alimony/maintenance
- Documents of jointly/individually held assets and any settlement deed

Good to know in Chandigarh: Both spouses must be living separately for at least one year before filing and must personally appear at both motions; consent must subsist until the decree and either party can withdraw before it.
