It takes a period of six months to get divorce in case of mutual consent. In this both parties have sign the petition for divorce and a required to get their statements recorded before family court judge, who is to see that the statements made by the parties are correct and a without any pressure as undue in?uence. In case of a contested divorce, it takes a longer period as both the parties will present their cases before the court along with evidences and also will try to prove their case on the basis of evidence of witnesses. The process of presenting evidence and witnesses in the court is a very technical time taking and cumbersome process. In cases where parties ?le cases of divorce, we generally see that there are other cases like maintenance case, domestic violence case, dowry demand case [498 A] also ?led by the parties. Once a parties ?le a case for divorce before the family court, the judge usually sent the matter for mediation, their the mediator, parties lawyers and the parties themselves are free to settle their disputed can make a settlement agreement in case the mediation is successful. The mediation process can be done at any stage of the case. Women in India don’t get right in the property of a husband by getting married to them. But they have right in the income of their husband by ?ling the case of maintenance under section 125, of the code criminal procedure.
