In India, a mutual divorce is a legal procedure that enables partners to break their union without going through a formal court process.

After the parties have been apart for a year, the petition must be filed within that year. "Living Separately" as used in Section 13B does not always mean moving to a different place physically. Even though the parties may reside under the same roof and in the same home, there may still be a distance between them. If so, they do not qualify as living as husband and wife and must instead be considered to be living separately. The Honorable Supreme Court made the same ruling in the case of Sureshta Devi v.
