Your Questions About Marriage Counselling


Maria asks…

Is anyone offended by the idea of marriage counselling?

My hubby and I were dating for seven years before we got married. We had compulsory marriage counselling which lasted 2 hours, undertaken by a minister who didn’t know us. Having to discuss our personal relationship with a stranger in order to be married and get the certificate offended me. Does anyone out there feel the same way?

MarriageCounseling answers:

I think that mandatory premarital counseling is unfair. I think that it’s fine to “recommend” it to engaged couples, but to force it upon them is unfair. Personally, I would like to take the class, but if it were forced on me, I would be very upset.

Steven asks…

can you explain how marriage counselling works, duration etc?

my husband and I are going through a really tough time so we have both agreed to go to counselling we have been several times together and feel very comfortable with our counsellor…some things are improving but we are either ok or arguing as there are so many unresolved issues to deal with…it is a positive experience but also quite emotionally charged..rather than hiding our heads under the sand we are facing up to things…how long does marriage counselling generally last before things are resolved or people call it quits? thanks

MarriageCounseling answers:

Your progress depends entirely on you and your husband. You could be there a few months, or maybe even a few years. It shouldn’t be stopped until you both agree counseling has helped you reach a conclusion to your issues.

Joseph asks…

Is there marriage counselling in Saudi Arabia?

Or is it completed by an Imam?

MarriageCounseling answers:

I don’t know but if there isn’t there should be. I have heard that the divorce rate is now up to 60% or 67% I’m not sure if that is true or not but I do know that its at least 50%

Sandra asks…

what if marriage counselling has already been done but the outcome wasn’t positive. Post which divorce is filed? please help

MarriageCounseling answers:

U have failed to mention the religion of you to answer clearly ANYHOW

If u r Hindu, u have to move u/s 13 B of Hindu Marriage Act for Divorce by Mutual Consent –
A petition for dissolution of marriage by a decree of divorce may be presented by both the parties, on the ground that they have been living separately for a period of one year or more, that they have not been able to live together and that they have mutually agreed that the marriage should be dissolved.
On the motion of both the parties made not earlier than six months after the date of the presentation of the petition and not later than eighteen months after the said date, if the petition is not withdrawn in the meantime, the court shall, on being satisfied, after hearing the parties and after making such inquiry as it thinks fit, that a marriage has been solemnized and that the averments in the petition are true, pass a decree of divorce declaring the marriage to be dissolved with effect from the date of the decree

IF U R CHRISTIAN
U have to move u/s 10 A of Indian Divorce Act – the said section also similar to S. 13 B of HM Act. BUT here parties must be living separate for two years and more

IF MARRIAGE DONE UNDER SPECIAL MARRIAGE ACT
U have to move u/s 28 of SM Act – The same is similar to Hindu Marriage Act

Marriage Counseling is one of the process in the divorce proceedings but not have any importance for the same – Court will not bother for its outcome and move further as per the wishes of the parties to the case
