Legal assistance for couples and families in Central Delhi
Central Delhi is one of the oldest and densest parts of the city, with a large tenant and working population. For many couples here the practical question is proof of residence: rent agreements, PG arrangements and family homes registered in a relative's name are common, and the Special Marriage Act requires at least one party to have lived in the district for 30 days before the notice is given.
We help with court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, registration of marriages already performed, certificate corrections, and family matters such as divorce, maintenance and custody. We do not claim a physical office in every area; consultations are available by phone, WhatsApp or by appointment.
Which authority handles your matter?
Court marriage and registration are handled by the SDM acting as Marriage Officer or Registrar for your sub-division, not by a court. Divorce, maintenance and custody for Central Delhi are generally heard at the Tis Hazari Courts, subject to the jurisdiction rules for each case.
