No, a simple document on stamp paper and notarization does not constitute a valid divorce under Indian law. A divorce requires a decree from a competent court, and a notarized document cannot substitute for this legal process. A person claiming to be divorced based on such a document could face legal repercussions. You should consult a lawyer to understand your specific situation and legal options.
