• The divorce file has to be submitted to the district court.

For divorce file submission one can select a district court of his or her own choice provided certain norms are fulfilled. The person can file a case to a court under whose jurisdiction he or she had last resided along with the other spouse. One can also choose the court of the state where the marriage was solemnized.
