An Interview with Advocate A.M. Iktear Uddin ( popularly known as Advocate Anik), Special Public Prosecutor & Partner, Prime Legal. Assisted by Arjita Mondal, Associate, Prime Legal

Interviewer: Advocate Anik, thank you for joining us. There’s a growing demand for quick, no-conflict separations. Is it really possible to get a divorce by mutual consent in just 15 days?

Advocate Anik: Thank you. Yes, it’s possible. Although Indian marriage laws, especially under the Hindu Marriage Act, prescribe a six-month waiting period, courts now have discretion to waive it in genuine cases. If both parties amicably settle all issues—custody, alimony, property—the court may permit a fast-track divorce. With the right legal strategy and proper documentation, we have successfully helped couples obtain a divorce by mutual consent in as little as 10 to 15 days.

Interviewer: Can you explain the legal foundation for such quick mutual consent divorces?

Advocate Anik: Certainly. Section 13B(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act allows for divorce by mutual consent if spouses have been living separately for a year. Section 13B(2) provides a six-month cooling-off period, but recent Supreme Court rulings have clarified it’s directory, not mandatory. So in exceptional circumstances—irretrievable breakdown of marriage, mutual settlement, no pending issues—courts can waive the waiting period, paving the way for a quick divorce in India.

Interviewer: How does this process differ under other personal laws?

Advocate Anik: Under Muslim, Christian, and Special Marriage Act laws, the grounds and procedures vary slightly. However, the principles of urgency, mutual settlement, and closure still apply. Depending on the couple’s religion and case facts, we select the right legal pathway to request expedited separation. Our team at Prime Legal, known among the best divorce lawyers in Bangalore, ensures clients receive expert advice tailored to their legal framework.

Interviewer: What’s your approach to custody in fast-track mutual consent divorces?

Advocate Anik: Custody must be settled mutually to avoid delays. We usually recommend one parent get sole custody, with structured visitation rights for the other. However, our priority is the best interests of the child. Courts act swiftly if custody terms are clear, reasonable, and mutually agreed upon—especially in mutual consent divorce cases.

Interviewer: Can you outline how one can get a divorce in 15 days?

Advocate Anik: Here’s a simplified process we follow for clients seeking fast-track divorce in India:

1. Pre-Filing Stage

  • Initial consultation with your divorce lawyer
  • Gather documents:
    • Marriage proof (certificate, photos, invitation)
    • Terms of mutual settlement
    • ID/address proof of both spouses

2. Filing the Petition

  • File joint petition for divorce by mutual consent
  • Include waiver request for six-month cooling-off period
  • Present the case for irretrievable breakdown of marriage

3. Court Proceedings

  • Attend 1–2 hearings in family court
  • Mediation or counseling (if needed)
  • Court passes final divorce decree
  • Receive:
    • Certified judgment copy
    • Mediation agreement (if any)
    • Divorce decree

Note: Timelines vary slightly across jurisdictions, but with solid preparation, it’s absolutely possible.

Interviewer: What allows courts to make such fast decisions?

Advocate Anik: Courts are guided by precedent. The Supreme Court held that reconciliation periods can be waived in exceptional situations. As one of the top divorce lawyers in Bangalore, we strategically present such cases with complete documentation and align them with these precedents. That’s what enables fast-track resolutions without compromising legal integrity.

Interviewer: Any final words for couples looking to move on respectfully and swiftly?

Advocate Anik: Be honest, transparent, and clear in your intentions. Resolve all ancillary matters—child custody, maintenance, property—before filing. Then choose experienced legal counsel who understand judicial discretion and documentation strategy. At Prime Legal (www.primelegal.in) , we’ve helped hundreds of couples obtain quick mutual consent divorces in Bangalore and other cities, ensuring peace and finality in a dignified manner.
