There are two types of divorce in India:
✅ Mutual Consent Divorce – When both spouses agree to separate. ✍️⚖️
❌ Contested Divorce – When one spouse refuses to divorce. 🚫💔
If your spouse doesn’t agree, you can still file for a contested divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, Special Marriage Act, 1954, or other personal laws. 📑🏛️
✅ Grounds for Divorce Without Spouse’s Consent
🔹 Cruelty – Mental or physical abuse is a valid reason for divorce. 🚨💔

🔹 Conversion of Religion – If your spouse changes religion, you can file for separation. 🏛️🔍
