Customary divorce

Customary divorce as such after coming of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 are not considered valid unless there exists custom and usage in a Hindu community which has legal sanction. The onus to prove the validity of customary divorce is on the person who alleges it. If the lady claims it as valid practise in her caste or community to have such form of divorce to prove its validity is on her. The Indian court will go by what is provided in the HMA, the grounds for divorce and procedure to get it from the court of law and not from some panchayat of a particular community.

Customary divorce is fake. You can go jail for it. 

The decree of the divorce from the competent court is only valid.
