When the court is satisfied that truly you deserve to get a divorce, the court would declare that the marriage be dissolved temporarily. This is known as Decree Nisi. You would be given three months grace period within which you can think twice about divorcing your spouse. If after the three months you do not reconcile with your partner then you can apply for a final order which permanently dissolves the marriage. This is known as Decree absolute. Once the Decree absolute is issued, the marriage no longer exists.
