Is one year of separation period mandatory for mutual divorce?
14-Dec-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi Sir, Just few doubts here. I am a keralite Hindu married to a Hindu chennaite. We married on July 3rd, 2017 in kerala and we are mutually heading for a divorce. May I know before we file for a petition for a divorce, is it necessary to be living separately for an year? Once a divorce is filed, how long will it take to get a divorce?
The Hindu Marriage, Act requires you to wait for 1 year before you file mutual consent, from the date of filling it will take 6 months to totally nullify your marriage. Since one of the party is in chennai, you can even file divorce in Chennai Court. To waive off of the 6 months period we can even file a petition but it is the discretion of the court waive the 6 months cooling off period.

One year period of marriage and one year period of separation is mandatory for filing divorce but you can go for null and void for that no time period is mandatory but it should filed within one year of the marriage.
