To establish jurisdiction and file your case in Mumbai, you must meet one of two criteria:
- Provide a valid Mumbai address proof in the name of either the husband or wife, or
- Provide proof that your marriage was solemnized in Mumbai.
A rent agreement is accepted as valid address proof by the Mumbai family courts.
Additionally, you must submit an original marriage proof, which can be:
- Marriage Certificate
- Wedding Invitation Card
- A certificate issued by the religious institution where the marriage was solemnized
