Legal Question in Family Law in India

Re: documents required for filing petition for divorce

The marriage certificate given the registration officer is enough and there is no need for further details. The details furnished at the time of marriage will contain the father's name, address etc.

Re: documents required for filing petition for divorce

The identity of the contracting parties are essential, and if the same is not there then the court will rely upon circumstantial evidence, like the statement of Witnesses who have witnessed the marriage and other incidental circumstances.

Re: documents required for filing petition for divorce

1. The Marriage Certificate itself is enough, but if the court asks you have to produce the photos.

2. In a Joint Mutual petition, the court will usually ask the question as to what is the proof, for having married. You have to produce all the documents produced before the marriage officer, and produce it before the court as documentary evidence.

YOu can apply for the certificate with photo, whether the marriage officer will give or not depends if he has computer facility and an extract can be given or not also depends, but if the certificate shows your name alongwith your wife name and shows the names of your parents, that is quite sufficient.

In addition both of you have to produce your relvant documents of S.S.L.C. MARKS CARD FOR your age proof and ration card as your name will be depicted in the said documents.

the address of witnesses will be there in the Certificate and if it is not there then you can apply for and obtain the same.
