Answer:
A contested divorce in India refers to a situation where either one spouse wishes to get divorce and the other spouse disagrees or neither of the spouses agree on grounds like cruelty, desertion, maintenance, alimony, custody of child, property etc or false allegations against your spouse.
In such a scenario, the spouse who files a petition before the Family Court alleging his/her spouse for legally valid grounds for divorce. The Family Court issues notice to the other spouse and upon hearing both parties and evidence, allows or denies divorce.
Contested divorce is where both parties do not mutually agree for divorce. Instead, one party needs to prove the grounds for divorce like cruelty, desertion, adultery or any other valid reason for seeking divorce.
