Divorce Law
Special Marriage Act Divorce
Divorce proceedings for couples married under the secular Special Marriage Act, applicable regardless of the parties' religion.
Because a Special Marriage Act marriage is inherently civil and religion-neutral, divorce proceedings for such marriages follow the same Act's own specific grounds and procedure, rather than either spouse's personal religious law.
This is commonly relevant for inter-faith couples who married under this Act specifically to avoid either party needing to convert religion.
