What is the minimum amount of time that must pass after the original petition is filed under Indian family law before the divorce can be finalised when a couple applies for divorce by mutual consent?
There is no waiting period.
3 months
6 months
1 year.
Answers (1)
The "cooling-off" period is a statutory waiting period that is required by the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 and the Special Marriage Act of 1954 when a couple applies for divorce by mutual consent. This time frame is set at six months from the date the initial petition was filed. It is meant to give the couple plenty of time to change their minds. Courts may, however, shorten the waiting period in specific cases and if both parties are still in agreement, but they cannot fully waive it. The waiting period is a crucial procedural step that helps to prevent hasty or emotionally-charged decisions about ending a marriage.nhence option C is the correct option.
