Assuming you are Hindus,
Under the Hindu Marriage Act, there are two types of divorce i.e. mutual divorce and contested divorce.
If both the parties aree for a mutual divorce then a petition is required to be filed in court and both the parties have to appear together and sign in from of the judge, thereafter there is a gap of 6 months and after 6 months both parties are requried to appear in court again and sign again.
After that within a week divorce is granted.
In contested divorce, there are certain grounds mentioned under section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act.
Divorce is only granted if the marriage falls within the grounds provided under the Act.
Some of the grounds are - adultery, dissertion, cruelty etc.
