Dear Sir,

Your marriage with the girl is a void marriage as if the marriage is not solemnized at all since she was minor at the time of marriage. Marrying a minor girl is illegal and is invalid, null and void as per law. You need not to file divorce petition, instead, you need to file a petition to annul the marriage as the marriage is null and void due to the minority of the girl at the time of the marriage. You may also need to mention in the petition that the age of the girl was misrepresented/suppressed by her parents and committed fraud and indued you to marry the girl with false representation. If you need any further clarification, feel free to contact me.
