Is Unilateral Divorce Possible Without Sharing the Same Household Registration?

Section 1, Article 56 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family stipulates the case of divorce at the request of one party as follows:

When either the husband or wife requests a divorce and the reconciliation at the Court fails, the Court shall grant the divorce if there are grounds showing that the husband or wife has committed acts of domestic violence or seriously violated the rights and obligations of the husband or wife, leading the marriage into a serious situation, making common life impossible to continue, and the marriage purpose is not achieved.

In the case of unilateral divorce, the Court will base its decision on the grounds of: acts of domestic violence; serious violations of the rights and obligations of husband and wife; the status and purpose of the marriage.

Therefore, even if you do not share the household registration with your husband, you are fully entitled to request a unilateral divorce and it will be resolved if there are the above-mentioned grounds.

Sincerely!
