Hindu Marriage Act Section 15

Code:

“Divorced persons when may marry again.— When a marriage has been dissolved by a decree of divorce and either there is no right of appeal against the decree or, if there is such a right of appeal, the time for appealing has expired without an appeal having been presented, or an appeal has been presented but has been dismissed, it shall be lawful for either party to the marriage to marry again.”

Explanation: section 15 – hindu marriage act 

This section of the Hindu Marriage Act clarifies the conditions under which a divorced person can remarry. It states that a divorced person can remarry only after the divorce decree becomes final. This means that the divorced person can remarry after all avenues of appeal have been exhausted or the time for appealing has passed without an appeal being filed.

Illustration: Section 15 – hindu marriage act 

Suppose a couple gets divorced, and the decree of divorce is granted. The husband appeals the decree. The appeal is dismissed by the court. In this case, the divorce decree is final, and both the husband and wife can remarry.

Common Questions and Answers:

Q: Can a divorced person remarry before the divorce decree becomes final?
A: No, a divorced person cannot remarry until the divorce decree becomes final.

Q: What happens if a divorced person remarries before the divorce decree becomes final?
A: The second marriage will be considered invalid.

Q: How long does it take for a divorce decree to become final?
A: The time for the divorce decree to become final depends on whether there is an appeal and the outcome of the appeal.
