Divorce within 6 months of marriage for hindu marriage.on 300 stamp paper

Divorce within 6 months of marriage for Hindu marriage.

My wife asked to divorce on 300 stamp by mutual consent in india ?

I want to sign it for her satisfaction for now but don't want to divorce her.

What if I signed now on 300 stamp ? Can it will be presented as proof in court while filling petition by mutual consent ? Is it mandatory for me to sign mutual consent petition while filling in court ?

I don't want to divorce her but I want to sign mutual divorce agreement on 300 stamp for her satisfaction.

No such divorce is valid in law.

Ok sir .

Can this agreement be used as evidence in the court in future ?

What if I do not follow this agreement? I.e. any penalty or punishment for violation of this divorce agreement?

Such agreement has no value in eye of law and simply it will be a waste paper..

Whether it be mutual or not, a divorce decree can only be pronounced by the competent court in India.

it is not divorce in the eye of law.

The arrangement could be valid if such a recgnised custom is prevalent in the community as a matter of right. Please see Section 3(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act

"29. Savings.—

(1) --------------------------------

(2) Nothing contained in this Act shall be deemed to affect any right recognised by custom or conferred by any special enactment to obtain the dissolution of a Hindu marriage, whether solemnized before or after the commencement of this Act.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

It is a question of facgt whether such a recognised custom is in force in the community.
