Mutual Divorce Waiver

When Can the Cooling-Off Period Be Waived?

In mutual consent divorce, spouses usually move through two stages. In suitable cases, the court may consider an application to waive the six-month waiting period, especially where separation has already continued for a sufficient period, settlement terms are complete and there is no realistic possibility of reconciliation.

A waiver is discretionary. The court examines the facts, conduct of the parties, settlement terms and whether all matrimonial issues have been resolved.

What the application usually addresses

  • Period of separation and history of the marriage dispute.
  • Whether mediation or reconciliation has failed.
  • Full settlement of alimony, maintenance, custody and pending cases.
  • Return of dowry articles, istridhan or other agreed items.
  • Why waiting further would only prolong hardship.
