Divorce and Alimony in Nepal: Legal Provisions and Grounds

Divorce and Alimony in Nepal: Legal Provisions and Grounds

Divorce in Nepal is governed by the Muluki Civil Code 2074, which outlines the legal grounds for divorce, alimony, and property division. Both husband and wife can file for divorce under specific circumstances, such as infidelity, physical or mental harm, or abandonment. Alimony, aimed at providing financial support to the economically dependent spouse, is determined by the court based on factors like the length of marriage, financial condition, and contributions made. Property division is also mandatory before divorce, ensuring fair distribution of assets. This article explains divorce grounds, alimony laws, and legal procedures in Nepal.
