Mizoram Law Requires Divorce Certificate for Remarriage Under 2026 Amendment
The amended Mizo Marriage Inheritance of Property Act, 2026, mandates a court-issued divorce certificate for remarriage in Mizoram. The Review Committee, led by Law and Judicial Department Additional Secretary Zahmingthanga Ralte, emphasized that the person solemnising the marriage must verify the certificate. Remarrying without it may result in 7 to 10 years imprisonment. The committee also recommended churches replace "Divorce" with a legal reference on certificates and reviewed customary marriage payments, urging discontinuation of some practices while retaining others.
