Both husband and wife are Hindu and belongs to same caste. Marriage was registered under the special marriage act and on same day marriage was also solemnized as per Hindu vedic rituals. Now they want to file divorce petition by mutual consent. Now issue is should I file divorce petition under section 28 of Special marriage act or Under section 13b of Hindu marriage act.

In either of the Act the case can be filed. However when you file under one Act then remain silent about applicability of other Act.
