Divorce Laws in India

India's diverse divorce laws cover contested divorces with specific grounds like cruelty and adultery, needing documentation such as financial statements. Mutual consent divorces under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act mandate a year of separation before filing. Alimony and child custody agreements are crucial. Withdrawal of consent pauses the process, potentially leading to contested divorce. The timeline varies but generally takes six months to a year.
