My husband cheated on me several times , registering on matrimony profile and contacting girls as if he is not married. When i found out his wrong doings he says he will divorce me.I am not willing to give consent. Can divorce be obtained without mutual consent.? How long will it take?

Find out if there are any other pending cases as against your Husband on the ground of cheating ..collate it and file as evidence as defendant .,

If he files a divorce petition, there must be a valid ground to prove.. as against you
It may take 1-1.5 years for judgment

Yes, he can obtain divorce by citing valid ground, at the same time he is ought to pay maintenance for you and your children. It'll take at least one year to get final order of divorce in contested cases.

Don't be afraid of your husband. He is doing illegal things by fooling around innocent girls to get married again. Legally he can't marry any other girl when the first marriage is subsisting. It is bigamy punishable for 7 years imprisonment under IPC. You can go to a police station to lodge a complaint against him about this. Consult your parents ,well wishers about this before you take legal recourse.
