A wife is entitled to file a divorce petition in appropriate Civil Court under section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 on ground mentioned under clause (2)(ii) of section 13.
The said provision reads as “A wife may also present a petition for the dissolution of her marriage by a decree of divorce on the ground that the husband has, since the solemnization of the marriage, been guilty of rape, sodomy or bestiality.” Therefore you can only file petition for divorce if your husband is convicted for the offence of rape. There is no provision for declaring the marriageas null or void immediately on ground of rape.
