Can I Get a Divorce Without My Spouse’s Consent? ⚖️๐ช
A distressed client asked us: "My spouse refuses to agree to a divorce. Can I still file for one?"
Short answer? Yes! But it depends on the type of divorce you seek. ๐ค
In India, divorce can be filed under two categories:
๐น Mutual Consent Divorce – When both spouses agree. ๐ค
๐น Contested Divorce – When one spouse refuses to cooperate. ⚖️
If your spouse does not consent, you will have to file a contested divorce, which takes longer but is legally possible under certain grounds.
