Mutual Divorce in Surat: the process in Gujarat
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Surat follow Gujarat's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. s.13B Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (1-year separation, inability to live together, mutual agreement); s.28 Special Marriage Act, 1954 for civil/interfaith; Mubarat before the Family Court for Muslim couples. Procedure under the Family Courts Act, 1984. Administered by the Gujarat Family Courts; where none exists the District Court has jurisdiction.
How mutual divorce works in Gujarat
- Prepare the MoU/settlement, draft the joint petition and gather documents
- File the joint petition (s.13B(1)) before the Family Court (in person or via eCourts e-Filing); pay court fee
- First Motion: both spouses appear, court records statements and verifies free consent; petition admitted
- Cooling-off/waiting period: 6 to 18 months under s.13B(2); waivable
- Second Motion: both spouses reaffirm consent, statements recorded
- Decree: court passes the decree of divorce dissolving the marriage
Documents required in Gujarat
- Joint petition under s.13B HMA (or s.28 SMA)
- Marriage certificate or proof of solemnisation
- Address proof of both spouses (Aadhaar, passport, etc.)
- Photo ID proof of both spouses
- Marriage photographs (typically minimum 4)
- Proof of separate residence for over 1 year
- Income proof (salary slips/appointment letter; ITRs, commonly last 3 years)
- Details of properties/assets
- Settlement Agreement/MoU signed by both parties; affidavits affirming the petition
Good to know in Gujarat: The 1-year separation under s.13B(1) is the prerequisite. The 6-month cooling-off is directory (Amardeep Singh, 2017); the Gujarat HC reaffirmed waiver where separation, failed reconciliation and full settlement are shown. Both parties must consent at both motions; consent is withdrawable until the decree. Conciliation is built-in (virtual allowed for parties abroad). Consent-decree terms are enforceable.
