Legal Question in Family Law in India

Divorce by stamp paper agreement

An agreement done between spouses on a stamp paper of Rs 100 ''that they are going to divorce each other and free to remarry where they want and so and so'' and signed by the sub-registrar is valid in the eyes of law? Or say, Customary Divorce is valid or not?

Is this type of agreement valid in Gujarat, India? Can anybody remarry to another person after signing such bond paper? Can I get divorce decree on that base.

There is nothing like a "SOCIAL DIVORCE". Decree of divorce can only be granted by the court of law and not otherwise LEGALLY.
