Divorced persons when may marry again
AI Assist
Summary
When a marriage is ended by a divorce decree, either party may marry again once the decree is finally settled: that is, if there is no right of appeal, the time for appealing has expired without an appeal, or any appeal has been dismissed. The consequence is that once no appeal remains, both spouses are free to remarry.
Example
Priya and Arjun get a divorce decree from the court. Neither side files an appeal within the allowed period. Priya is therefore free to marry again.
Bare Act
Enacted textWhen a marriage has been dissolved by a decree of divorce and either there is no right of appeal against the decree or, if there is such a right of appeal, the time for appealing has expired without an appeal having been presented, or an appeal has been presented but has been dismissed, it shall be lawful for either party to the marriage to marry again.
