Vital Events Registration in Nepal: Procedures, Documents, and Legal Process

Vital Events Registration in Nepal: Procedures, Documents, and Legal Process

Vital events registration in Nepal is a mandatory legal process to officially record significant life events, including birth, death, marriage, divorce, and migration. Governed by the Vital Events Registration Act and managed by local ward offices, it ensures individuals can access citizenship, education, social services, and inheritance rights. Registration must be completed within 35 days of the event, following clear steps like visiting the ward office, filling out forms, submitting documents, and obtaining certified certificates. Each registration type has unique document requirements, including citizenship cards, hospital certificates, tax receipts, and legal decrees. Vital records support national data systems essential for policy-making and development planning. Despite its importance, many citizens face challenges due to remoteness, documentation issues, or lack of awareness. Alpine Law Associates provides full legal assistance in navigating vital events registration, including document verification, form filling, and legal support for delayed or disputed registrations.

Partition of Property After Divorce in Nepal: Rights, Exceptions, and Process

Partition of Property After Divorce in Nepal: Rights, Exceptions, and Process

The partition of property after divorce in Nepal is a crucial legal process governed by the Muluki Civil Code 2074. It ensures equitable distribution of marital assets acquired during the marriage, recognizing both financial and non-financial contributions. Generally, joint property is divided equally between spouses, covering movable and immovable assets. However, exceptions apply, particularly when one spouse is found at fault, such as in cases of adultery or abuse, where partition may be denied. The court also considers child custody, alimony, and maintenance while settling property claims. Legal support is essential to navigate documentation, valuation, negotiation, and litigation procedures. Law firms assist with consultation, legal filings, court representation, enforcement of court orders, and appeals. This article details the rights, legal exceptions, and practical steps involved in property partition after divorce in Nepal, helping individuals secure fair settlements while safeguarding vulnerable spouses and promoting gender equity.
