Husband or wife who has been harassed or mentally tortured by the other spouse can approach the family court for divorce on the ground of crulty, after completing the period of one year in the matrimonial life. Your case is concern, you can approach the family court for divorce but it would be difficult to you to prove the case of crulty. If there is no possibility of cordial relationship in the matrimonial life then you may approach the family court even though she has not consent for mutual divorce.

You could approach the court for divorce after one year of marriage citing cruelty on your wife's part. If you want to file a petition within one year you need to file a petition that there is extreme hardship caused by your wife. Or you can file for decree of nullity on the ground of non consummation.
