Definition of Judicial Separation

The process of judicial separation basically gives an opportunity to the married Hindu couple to resolve their marital problems without getting separated. This process is the last hope for the couple before their legal separation (divorce).

Even after obtaining the legal decree, the couple is still married before the law, as judicial separation does not dissolve the marriage. Basically, the decree of judicial separation releases the parties from the obligation of living together under one roof. When the decree is passed in the favor of a party he/she is no longer obligated to live together with their partner.

The matter of judicial separation in Faridabad may be filed in the family court, which has a jurisdiction over the area where:

1. The last time couple resided together
2. The couple got married or their marriage got solemnized, or
3. Either of the party to marriage resides at the time of filing of the Petition.

The Petition for Judicial Separation should be filed by the best Family lawyers in the family court.  And the petition must mention:

1. The date at which the marriage was solemnized and place of marriage,
2. Details of the husband and wife,
3. Present living status of the husband and wife,
4. Rituals followed by the couple,

Grounds to File Judicial Separation Petition in the Faridabad Court

Judicial Separation is defined under Section 10 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. It states that any party to the marriage can go ahead to file a petition of Judicial Separation in a Family court with help of a good family lawyer. The petition could be filed on various grounds:

If in a divorce matter, the Court deems fit as per the facts of the case and then instead of the Decree of Divorce, judicial separation can be granted. As per section 10(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act “Where a decree for judicial separation has been passed, it shall no longer be obligatory for the petitioner to cohabit with the respondent, but the court may, on the application by petition of either party and on being satisfied of the truth of the statements made in such petition, rescind the decree if it considers it just and reasonable to do so.”
