Divorce and family cases in Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad's family court sits in the district court. Because Ghaziabad borders East and North East Delhi, spouses often live on opposite sides of the border, and the choice between Ghaziabad and Karkardooma (Delhi) needs checking at the start.
The Ghaziabad district court serves the district's matrimonial and family matters, including its family courts.
Same central law, different court
The Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act, maintenance under section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Domestic Violence Act apply in Uttar Pradesh as in Delhi. What differs is the court, its practice and the local mediation and protection-officer arrangements.
Ghaziabad or Delhi?
Under section 19 of the Hindu Marriage Act, a petition can be filed where the marriage was solemnised, where the respondent lives, where the parties last lived together, or where the wife lives if she is the petitioner. When those places are split between Ghaziabad and Delhi, you may have a choice. We compare travel, court load and where evidence and witnesses are before recommending a forum.
