Can we separate without divorce after registered marriage secretly?
My partner and I got our marriage registered without informing my parents. Since the date of registration, I have been living with my parents. Later, I told them about my relationship, but they did not accept it. Now, my partner and I have decided to end our relationship. Can we end our relationship amicably before our elders without filing for divorce or going to court?
Dear Client, No. Once the marriage is solemnized and registered under the respective personal law, it gives a legal status to the marriage. Marriages that enjoy the validity of law, cannot be dissolved by mere mutual agreement between the family members. The marriage can only be diluted according to the provisions envisaged in the applicable personal law and thereafter obtaining a decree of divorce or annulment from a competent court. I hope this answer helps. In case of future queries, please feel free to contact us. Thank you.
Since your marriage is legally registered, it cannot be ended just by mutual agreement before elders. You will still be legally married unless you get a divorce through court, either by mutual consent or specific legal grounds. An informal separation has no legal effect, so you must follow the proper legal process to dissolve the marriage. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
