Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The following 50 FAQs are structured to address the most common legal queries regarding family law, property law, criminal law, and professional representation in Nepal.

To register a court marriage, both parties must be at least 20 years old and must not be within prohibited degrees of relationship. They must submit a petition to the District Court along with citizenship certificates and witness details to obtain a formal marriage certificate. This registration provides essential proof for exercising future legal rights regarding property and children.

Yes, under Section 93 of the National Civil Code 2074, a husband and wife can file for divorce by mutual consent at any time. This process is generally swifter than a contested divorce and involves a joint application detailing agreements on alimony and property division. The court grants the dissolution once it is satisfied that the consent is voluntary.

A wife can file for divorce if her husband commits bigamy, marital rape, or if he inflicts physical or mental torture. Other grounds include desertion for three years or the husband being diagnosed with an incurable disease. The court prioritizes the safety and welfare of the wife during such proceedings.

A husband may file for divorce if his wife engages in extramarital relations or inflicts severe physical or mental damage on him. He can also file if the wife deserts him for over three consecutive years or deprives him of maintenance. These cases require robust evidence to be presented in the District Court.

Alimony is determined based on the financial capacity of the spouse and the needs of the dependent party. It can be awarded as a lump sum or as a monthly maintenance payment until the dependent spouse remarries. The court forensicly analyzes the property acquired during the marriage to ensure a fair distribution.
