A.You will need to wait for 12 months to get over from the date of your marriage and till then convince your husband to divorce you by mutual consent and talk to a lawyer in your local jurisdiction who handles matrimonial matters and decide the consent termsnof your divorce and after the 12 months is over from the date of your marriage, file a mutual consent divorce petition by taking into consideration the consent terms of your divorce on both the sides such as return of stridhan, any alimony or maintenance you seek from husband etc. Thank you.
You can file for a divorce by mutual consent after a period of 1 year. you can also file for divorce under any other Act that applies to you. Moreover, the marriage can be declared void by a competent court on the ground of fraud, underage, coercion, misrepresentation, and impotence.
Thank you
A marriage can be nullified within one year of marriage on certain grounds like fraud, insanity, impotency etc. For divorce one has to wait for one year after marriage to file a case for divorce in the court of law. You need to take a decision accordingly and move ahead.
