As per Hindu Marriage Act, divorce cannot be filed within 1 year of marriage unless exceptional hardship or cruelty is proven. You may seek court permission to waive this period in special cases with substantial proof.

Accoridng to Hindu marriage, divorce cannot be filed within one year of marriage unless there is exceptional hardship or cruelty. In such cases, special court permission is required. Otherwise, the parties must wait for one year. Annulment may be an option in cases of fraud, coercion, or incapacity.

You cannot file for divorce within a year. However, you can file for annulment, but the same depends on facts and circumstances of each case. Feel free to contact me for seeking any legal advice as regards the same.
