My husband and I have been living apart for the past 6 years. I’m a strong, independent woman and we had a notarized agreement for a mutual divorce back then. Now, I’m planning to get remarried. Do I need to go to court to finalize the divorce or get our marriage annulled? The problem is, I don’t know where my ex-husband is living now. If I do go to court, how will they get in touch with him?

A notarized agreement is not legally binding for divorce in India. You need to file a divorce petition in court. The court will attempt to serve your ex-husband through various means, including publication in a newspaper, if his whereabouts are unknown.
