Sir

The answer depends upon the question that "WHAT IS YOUR CAST / COMMUNITY "

The law provides an exception. Where any cast or community provides a customary mode of divorce, then such divorce is permissible in such customary mode.

In Gujarat, Patel Community is accepted community where such stamp paper divorce are permissible and accepted.

In Muslim law also, Shariya is applicable, where they take divorce as per their customs.

There are judgments of the Court to that effect.

SO, after you provide me the details, i can advise you whether such divorce on stamp paper are valid or not.

Feel free to contact me should you have any questions. You can also write on my website if you have any further query.
