The Bangladeshi Family Law System operates in a way that helps people resolve issues arising from family relationship issues. Families can experience crisis, disagreement, loss, instability, and overall breakdown of the entire family unit.

It can be emotional and stressful dealing with divorce, separation, and the breakdown of relationships and family units.

This area of family law encompasses several components and can include:

4. Settlement of matrimonial disputes in general
5. Adoption, custody and guardianship of the child, conversion of religion etc.

One of the most common family law issues is marriage and divorce. In Bangladesh, a Muslim couple may seek divorce through the process of Talaq, which can be initiated by the husband. Alternatively, both parties can mutually agree to a divorce through a process called Khula. For non-Muslims, the process of divorce follows the Special Marriage Act of 1872. Our family lawyers can provide legal guidance on the divorce process in Bangladesh and help clients navigate the legal system to achieve the best possible outcome. The fees charged by the government for divorce registration in Bangladesh are usually between BDT 200 and 500, depending on the district.

Our family lawyers can provide legal representation and assistance to clients who have experienced domestic violence and help them obtain a restraining order against the perpetrator. The government does not charge any fees for filing a domestic violence case in Bangladesh.
