Legal assistance for couples and families in South Delhi
South Delhi has many working couples, inter-state and inter-religion couples and NRIs visiting family, which makes document planning important. Where one partner has a foreign passport or has been living abroad, embassy or single-status documents can take longer than the marriage process itself.
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 South Delhi are generally heard at the Saket Courts, subject to the jurisdiction rules for each case.
