Divorce certificate

Was the talaq in concurrence with conditions as applicable to your faith/sect/sub-sect?

If you have written communication(s), acceptance by spouse and talaq was in accordance with provisions of personal law and after being satisfied the designated religious scholar/authority has issued the valid Talaqnama then It could have been accepted by passport officer..

Has your spouse disputed the talaq in any forum?

Tha passport officer goes by compendium of instructions issued by govt  from time to time..

and if there is NO infirmity with nikahnama, Talaq certificate, instructions by govt, then he/she must have agreed.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Assistant Solicitor General.  WP(C).No.21528/2016-M.

4. Divorce by pronouncing Talaq is a recognised mode of dissolution of marriage under the Muslim Personal Law.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE FRIDAY, THE 16TH DAY OF DECEMBER 2016/25TH AGRAHAYANA, 1938 WP(C).No. 11438 of 2016 (D)

Reliefs;

In these writ petitions question of validity of triple talaq does not arise. However this question was considered in larger perspective for the reason that if court grant any relief based on admission of the parties as to the repudiation of marriage by triple talaaq, that would amount to recognition of a triple talaq effected not in accordance with law, as this court has no mechanism to find out the manner in which talaq is effected. The Court cannot become a party to a proceedings to recognise an ineffective divorce in the guise of directions being given to passport authorities to accept the divorce. The legal effect of such divorce has to be probed by a fact finding authority in accordance with the true Islamic law. Stamp of approval being given by the court by ordering passport authority to accept divorce effected not in accordance with the law, will create an impression that court transgressed its limits while directing a public authority to honour an act which was done not in accordance with law. Though in these writ petitions, considering the urgency of the matters, this court granted interim order directing the passport authorities to act upon the request of the petitioners.

And;

Also;

Bombay High Court

Shakil Ahmad Jalaluddin Shaikh vs Vahida Shail Shaikh And Anr on 20 January, 2016

Bench: M.S. Sonak

32…..The factum of divorce is required to be proved, including the conditions precedent therefor, by evidence both oral and documentary, when the same is disputed by the wife before a competent Court of law.

The mere existence of a document like talaqnama, is by no means sufficient to render a valid Talaq. For a valid Talaq, it is not sufficient that the prescribed expressions are pronounced thrice but the stages it is preceded by, are required to be pleaded and proved before the Court, if disputed by the wife.

In Oct 2017, I had sent  divorce paper to my wife and after 3 months mean in Jan 2018 I got divorce from my wife. she did not sign the paper but she accepted many times(verbally & in written) this divorce. From Oct 2016, we are staying separately and in Jan 2018 I had taken divorce from her as per above muslim law of shariyat.    Now, I want to remove her name from passport but passport officer asking for divorce certificate. How to get the divorce certificate from court or affidavit will be enough to remove her name from passport.    Please advice.

You can approach Family Court in person or through lawyer with a jointly signed letter asking judge to give you divorce decree based on the talaqnama given by imam.  The court will issue decree in 1 month time.
