Section 1531
Statutory text (Thai original)
การสมรสที่จดทะเบียนตามกฎหมายนั้น การหย่าโดยความยินยอมของคู่สมรสทั้งสองฝ่ายมีผลนับแต่เวลาจดทะเบียนการหย่าเป็นต้นไป การหย่าโดยคำพิพากษามีผลแต่เวลาที่คำพิพากษาถึงที่สุด แต่จะอ้างเป็นเหตุเสื่อมสิทธิของบุคคลภายนอกผู้ทำการโดยสุจริตไม่ได้ เว้นแต่จะได้จดทะเบียนการหย่านั้นแล้ว
Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
In case where a marriage has been registered according to law, divorce by mutual consent takes effect from the time of registration. Divorce by judgment of the Court takes effect on and from the time when the judgment becomes final; however, such judgment may not be set up to the prejudice to the rights of third persons acting in good faith unless the divorce has been registered.
