Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, if you’ve filed for divorce and your husband is contesting the case, the duration can vary depending on the facts, court workload, and cooperation of both parties. ⏳ Estimated Timeline: Preliminary Stage (3–6 months): Filing of divorce petition, response (written statement) by husband, framing of issues. Evidence Stage (6–12 months): Recording your evidence, cross-examination by husband’s side. Then his evidence and your cross-examination. Final Arguments & Judgment (3–6 months): After evidence, both sides argue, and the court gives judgment. ✅ Average time: If contested, it can take 1.5 to 2 years or more. If mediation fails and both contest every stage, it can be longer. You can also request for interim reliefs like maintenance or protection orders under Section 24 or Domestic Violence Act if needed.
