How to Navigate the Legalities of Remarrying After Divorce in India

Introduction Legally navigating the intricacies of divorce in India can be a multifaceted process, with the timeline for remarriage being intricately regulated by the law. Indian marriage laws meticulously outline the procedural elements, emphasizing the necessity of observing a waiting period before either party may embark on a new matrimonial relationship. In particular, the legislation makes it mandatory to wait 90 days after the divorce decree is issued.

Often, the vehicle owner does not know there is a problem. Meghalaya High Court ruled recently that "unbelievable though such an allegation may seem, the relevant inmate reports that drugs are sometimes transported in army trucks, which are generally immune to inspection.". There is no doubt that the officer has authority to seize the vehicle, and the owner of the vehicle must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he does not have conscious possession of the vehicle. He is not involved in those offenses to get the vehicle returned to him. A Magistrate Court or a Special Court can only sanction an application for releasing the vehicle on interim custody.
