Is notarized document valid for divorse purpose

Sir,

My son is serving in Indian Army and before two years he got married as per social customs.

and therefore he nominated his wife as his successor in Indian Army Record where he serves.

But due to some unavoidable circumstances, he got divorce and for this they both husband and wife made notarized document of divorce in Baroda (gujarat) Court.

Now he wants to remove his wife s name as nominee from Indian Army record..

So, is this notarized document valid for submission in Army Establishment for removal of his divcorced wife from

their record ?

Pl advise as Army people ask for Court Judge certificate for doing this procedure...

Thanks..

Motorised document is not the proof of divorce. For that you will need the Court Order. So far for changing nomination, there is no need to give proof of divorce. The person can change nominee any time during his life time. The nominee is only the hands to receive the money and is not the benefactor.

Notorized divorce is not a valid divorce. Being a father of an army how you are ignorant of law. Very much on a wrong way. Sorry state of yours sir. Anything which comes in your way, you have to face it.
