Urgent Advise Required

In this case parties took divorce by mutual consent before the notary. (There is no Court decree). Thereafter wife remarried and she having a daughter from this second marriage.

After her second marriage, her earlier husband has expired and she filed application for succession certificate. Would she be entitled for the estate of her previous husband?

If her divorce is not proved then in that case whether it can be said that she is living in adultery because her so-called second marriage would be void as it was performed during the life time of her prevous husband.

Please advise with case law citations.

Divorce is only valid when it is taken before court. There is no other way to take divorce therfore divorce taken before notary is not valid.  She is still a married wife of his previous husband and entitled to take succession. Her second marriage is a void marriage and therefore case of adultary can be filed against her second husband and for second marriage when her husband still exist can be filed against wife.

Here the question is that if divorce is not proved can she be denied succession on the ground that she is continuously living in adultery and also having a illegitimate daughter.

Mr.Kuchhal,

you can challange her petition but you have to prove her divorce. but you have to struggle hard.

That why we alwyas guide the people to get proper divorce else they always face such and similar problems.

Anyhow consult any good local lawyer and he will guide you the way out.

There is way out but your local lawyer will guide you thoroughly after going through all the doucments.
