Can divorce be given after one year of marriage

Hi
The girl must have solid reason to seek divorce.
The Girl can file a divorce case at Madanapalli on the grounds of irretrievable break down of marriage.
If the boy is not coming forward to grant divorce, the girl can speed up the proceedings by insisting on irretrievable break down of marriage before the honourable court and courts will be inclined to grant a divorce as no law can force a person to continue in marital life, if the marriage has irretrievably broken down.

Dear Client,
Your sister can file a petition for divorce. Court will decide whether she can be granted divorce or not. It depends upon the grounds on which she opt to seek the divorce. What are the grounds on which she do not want to live with that guy. There must be valid grounds for grant of divorce. You must seek expert legal advise by engaging an expert advocate for filing petition for divorce. Your sister must plan on what grounds she should sought to file a petition for granting divorce. What is the type of marriage. Whether it was performed with Hindu Rites and Ceremonies. That is to say valid ceremonies like saptapadi, chanting of mantras by priest etc., are performed in the presence of elders, well wishers.Otherwise it will not be treated as marriage and she need not give divorce. If it is a registered marriage, she must give divorce. Casts do not matter. Both are governed by Hindu Marriage Act. Where did the marriage took place, Where they last resided together, where both are living separately at any place in which place courts will have territorial jurisdiction, where your sister can file a petition for divorce.

Hello,

Yes. A Hindu married couple can seek divorce after one year of marriage. However, there should be valid grounds for seeking divorce. Just because the girl doesn't want to live with the husband, is not a ground for divorce. The girl has to show reasonable grounds like cruelty, adultery, conversion of husband to another religion after marriage etc as one of the grounds for seeking divorce. Feel free to contact me if you need any further clarification.
