Summary
Proceedings under the Act generally follow the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. That rule applies only so far as it is possible and is subject to other provisions of the Act and any procedural rules the High Court makes. Practically, matrimonial cases use civil procedure for things like service, pleadings and hearings unless the Act or High Court rules provide a different process.
