Is there a waiting period for remarriage after mutual consent divorce?
Hello, a judgment has been passed on my Mutual Consent Divorce (Christian marriage) on January 13th, 2025. The divorce has been granted, and the case has been disposed of. My queries are as follows: Is there any waiting or appeal period before remarriage in a Mutual Consent Divorce under Section 10(A) of the Indian Divorce Act, 1869? How long will it take to receive the decree? (The court is the Additional District and Sessions Court in Kalyan, Thane). What is the procedure to obtain the decree? How much will it cost?
There is no waiting time in mutual consent divorce under the Indian Divorce Act, 1869, in Christian marriages. The instant the court grants the divorce decree under Section 10A, it is final and binding, and both the parties are free to remarry at the same time. But the law requires the couple to live separately for two years before they can file for divorce. The court can take some time to determine the authenticity of the petition before granting the decree.
After a Christian mutual consent divorce judgment, there is no mandatory waiting period for remarriage - you can remarry as soon as you receive the divorce decree. The divorce decree should typically be available within 1-2 weeks after judgment by applying to the court through your lawyer and paying a nominal fee (usually under Rs. 500). You should contact your lawyer to help obtain the decree from the court, as they will need to submit an application and follow up with the court staff.
Sir, after a mutual consent divorce under the Indian Divorce Act, you usually have to wait for about 3 months before you can remarry. Once the judgment is passed, you can apply for the divorce decree from the court. It typically takes about 7 to 15 days to get the certified copy. The cost for obtaining the decree is usually between ₹50 to ₹500, depending on the court. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
