Divorce is the legal end of marriage that allows the spouses to marry again. In Nepal, divorce is governed by the Muluki Civil Code 2074, which came into effect on 17 August 2017 (2074). The new divorce law has introduced some changes and improvements to the previous legal provisions of Nepal regarding divorce. Divorce used to be informal in ancient times. The wife could simply leave her husband's house with her dowry and get divorced. There was no need to go to court like now. The formal legal process of divorce was started by Jung Bahadur in 1910 BS. At that time, only the wife could file for divorce. The new divorce law has opened the door for the husband to file for divorce as well.
