For Christians married under Special Marriage Act and religiously, divorce is through the Special Marriage Act only. File a petition in Family Court citing grounds like cruelty or desertion. Religious marriage has no separate divorce procedure once special marriage is registered. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
