There is just one ground for divorce - an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. However, you have to prove irretrievable breakdown and it's our work.
You need to prove that you have made serious efforts to find your spouse such as contacting members of their family or asking their friends or their place of work. If you really cannot find out an address for your spouse, we can apply to the court for an application to dismiss with service of the petition.
You can contact the relevant registry office or church office providing them with the parties' names and date of marriage. They will provide you with the original marriage certificate for a fee.
Alternatively, we can obtain a copy for you.
In this case the marriage certificate needs to be translated into Arabic by a qualified translator who would then have it sworn. We then lodge the original marriage certificate with the Court alongside the translation and the translator's sworn statement.
