Legal assistance for couples and families in Old Delhi
Old Delhi is a new revenue district created from the Chandni Chowk and Sadar Bazar sub-divisions. Many families here live in old, jointly owned or inherited houses, so address proof is often in a grandparent's or relative's name. That is usually workable, but it needs a supporting affidavit or other proof of actual residence for the 30-day condition.
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 Old Delhi are generally heard at the Tis Hazari Courts, subject to the jurisdiction rules for each case.
Sub-divisions (SDM offices) in Old Delhi
Old Delhi has 2 sub-divisions: Chandni Chowk, Sadar Bazar. The SDM of each sub-division acts as Marriage Officer for residents of that sub-division. See the full list of Delhi SDM offices.
Police stations in the walled city fall under different judicial districts, so some matters are heard at Tis Hazari and others at Rohini. We confirm the court from the police station and address.
