My sister is going through a divorce in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. She’s now working in Chennai with a multinational bank and raising her daughter. It’s difficult for her to travel back and forth for court appearances. Could her divorce case be transferred to Chennai? What’s the process for doing this, especially considering we’re Hindu?

Yes, your sister can seek transfer of her divorce case to Chennai Family Court. As per the Code of Civil Procedure, she can file an application for transfer based on convenience and hardship, considering her residence and work in Chennai. The application should state the reasons and include supporting documents like her employment proof and residence proof in Chennai.
