Madam, the registration of marriage is not mandatory. If you feel that where there is no chance to reunite both of you, then you can apply for divorce. First you need to give a notice through an advocate. Thereafter, you can file the divorce petition in the Family court. If you want further details, plz contact .

As per our legal system registration of marriage is not needed and if you want to live seperately then you can file Divorce case and in this if you are not earning then you might not need to pay any maintenance but if court order then you have to give maintenance to your wife.

if you both ie. husband and wife mutually agrees to dissolve the marriage then you can dissolve the marriage by mutual consent and therein you can settle your disputes without any provisioning of maintenance or alimony provided she agrees. It is for her to claim everything, if you are alleging any ground like adultery, cruelty and desertion then under law she can very well claim maintenance and alimony. Further pertinent to note that she can only lay claim on your property, meaning thereby that your self acquired property only.

Legal age for a hindu male to get married is 21 and since you got married at the age of 18, you can get your marriage annulled. If u can prove you got married at 18 your marriage will be considered void and anullment will be granted. Post annulment , your wife will cease to be your wife and hence will not have any right in the property.
