How long does a mutual consent divorce take in Kerala?
Under the Hindu Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act, spouses who have lived separately for at least one year can file a joint petition before the Family Court. The court usually takes up the second motion after six months, and the Supreme Court has held that this waiting period can be waived in suitable cases. For Christian marriages under the Divorce Act, 1869, the separation period is two years. Actual timelines depend on the Family Court and the facts of each case.
Who can claim maintenance, and under which law?
A wife, children and parents who are unable to maintain themselves can claim maintenance under Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure).
