Hi can anyone please help?! I am Scottish - married a Tibetan guy in India 2008 under the Special Marriage Act. It was a huge mistake and now I want to divorce. Can I do this under Scottish law (it would be a mutual consent divorce) or does it have to be under Indian law? ANY advice would be appreciated - I am so stuck.

Cheers

Hi blue09,

I presume you live in Scotland, in which case you could divorce under Scottish Law and since yours was a short marriage (assuming the two of you didn't cohabit for years aforehand) financially you should each leave with what you brought into the marriage.
