Divorce by Mutual Consent in Muslim Law is known as
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Mubarat means mutual release: both spouses desire separation, and an offer by either spouse is accepted by the other. Lian concerns an accusation of adultery, faskh is judicial dissolution, and zihar is a prohibited comparison rather than this mutual-consent form. The classification is the traditional Muslim-law rule, also listed in section 2 of the Shariat Act.
Current law: For persons within the Uttarakhand Code’s statutory scope, sections 27–29 provide the court-based mutual-consent and dissolution framework. Section 29 applies to marriages before or after commencement; unilateral reliance on a personal-law divorce form does not replace the Code’s required procedure. The Code commenced on 27 January 2025, with exclusions under section 2.
