Unless custom permits divorce outside court, the divorce deed has no value and divorce has to be obtained through court. The deed of divorce can be a piece of evidence but other formalities have to be completed. If the divorce is not legal the remarriage would be illegal.

Mutual Divorce can only be granted by the court. Till then the mutual divorce papers are just like waste papers, without any backing of law.
Ask your client to deny them at any stage, unless she/he wants a divorce and is agreeable to the compromise arrived at.

as per Hindu Marriage Act and other marriage Acts, the mutual consent is a vital ground to end the unhappy cohabitation of the marriage, by which a decree can get after fulfilling other formalities as per the customs of the family.
once the decree is legal as per the provisions of the law and customs, they can remarry, without which it is illegal.

1. No validity in the eyes of law.
2. Yes. Only Court can pass a decree of divorce.
3. You may use the said deed as an evidence.
4. No. Without obtaining the decree of divorce by a court, the re-marriage will be illegal and also punishable by law.
