Getting a divorce is not mandatory when couples decide to part ways. Many spouses opt for a separation instead of a divorce. However, a divorce is required when one or both spouses wish to re-marry. In such a case, a formal divorce judgement is required, with a final certificate.
A divorce can be obtained on one or more of the following grounds.
• One-year separation: This is the most common way to obtain a divorce. This just means that the couple have lived separately for a minimum of one year and neither party is interested in resuming the relationship. There is no need to wait for the one year to petition for a divorce, however, it will be granted only after the one-year mark has passed.
• Adultery: Adultery takes place when one partner cheats on their spouse with another person.
• Cruelty: This can be ground for divorce if there is evidence of mental or physical abuse in the marriage and it is impossible to live together.
