A.This is valid marriage.
Yes you can file divorce petition.
Mutual Divorce is best option. If either of you have any demand settled that matter out of court and execute agreement then notarize the same.

A.Hai,
In India, the legal age for getting married is 18 years for girls and 21 years for boys. In India, as with most personal matters, rules for divorce are connected to religion. Divorce among Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains is governed by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, Muslims by the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939, Parsis by the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936 and Christians by the Indian Divorce Act, 1869. All civil and inter-community marriages are governed by the Special Marriage Act, 1956. Please do consult a lawyer before filing a divorce petition. If you find this helpful, please rate us.
