What We Are Expert At

What Is Christian Divorce in India?

Christian divorce in India is governed by the Indian Divorce Act, 1869, which applies to individuals who profess the Christian faith and are married under Christian rites or ceremonies. This law mandates that Christian spouses must provide specific grounds and evidence to obtain a valid divorce decree.

Unlike mutual consent divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act, the Indian Divorce Act has more limited provisions and requires judicial proof of fault or breakdown of the marriage.

Grounds for Christian Divorce Under the Indian Divorce Act, 1869

Adultery

If a spouse is unfaithful, the innocent party can seek divorce by proving voluntary sexual intercourse outside marriage.

Cruelty

Mental or physical cruelty—verbal abuse, violence, threats, humiliation—can serve as a valid basis for divorce.

Desertion

If one spouse abandons the other for at least two consecutive years, it constitutes a ground for divorce.

Unsoundness of Mind or Mental Disorder

Prolonged or incurable mental illness can make cohabitation impossible and is accepted as a ground.

Conversion to Another Religion

If a Christian spouse converts to another faith (e.g., Islam or Hinduism), the other spouse may seek divorce.

Incurable Venereal Disease, Leprosy

Serious communicable illnesses like HIV or leprosy may also justify a legal separation.

Presumption of Death

If a spouse has not been heard from in seven years, the court may presume death and grant divorce.
