It is impossible in present Indian Law for any religion. It is stated that the wife wants restitution and husband wants an urgent divorce. Even if it a matter of mutual consent it would need one year from marriage to file.

why your friend thinking about divorce, and you talk first with his wife for what purpose she went to her parents house and why she not returned to matrimonial house, than decide to give legal notice from your advocate regarding to come back or approach to give mutual divorce only from your counsel.
