Comprehensive Guide to the Divorce Process in Nepal - 2025

Comprehensive Guide to the Divorce Process in Nepal - 2025

Divorce in Nepal is governed by the Muluki Civil Code 2074, which outlines the legal grounds, procedures, and requirements for the dissolution of a marriage. Either spouse can initiate the process based on specific grounds, such as separation, deprivation of maintenance, infidelity, or other defined criteria. The process includes filing a divorce petition, mediation attempts, mandatory property division, and court judgment. Alimony may be granted depending on the financial status of the spouses. The law ensures fairness in addressing marital disputes and also provides provisions for those living abroad to initiate divorce through power of attorney.

Marriage, Divorce, and Annulment Under Nepal's Muluki Civil Code 2074

Marriage, Divorce, and Annulment Under Nepal's Muluki Civil Code 2074

Marriage is a fundamental social and legal institution, but not all marriages last. The Muluki Civil Code 2074 of Nepal defines marriages as valid, void, or voidable, each with distinct legal implications. A valid marriage meets all legal and social criteria, granting rights like inheritance and spousal support. A void marriage is legally nonexistent from the start due to reasons like bigamy or lack of consent. A voidable marriage remains valid until legally challenged for reasons such as fraud, coercion, or incapacity. Divorce legally ends a valid marriage, allowing both parties to remarry, while annulment treats a void or voidable marriage as if it never existed. Understanding these differences ensures legal protection and informed decisions when dealing with marriage dissolution.
