What is Mutual Consent Divorce?
Mutual Consent Divorce is the most peaceful and time-efficient way to end a marriage when both husband and wife mutually agree to separate. It is governed under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (and similar provisions in other personal laws). This process saves time, money, and emotional trauma for both parties.
