Hi It takes 6 months to get the order of mutual consent divorce from the date of filing the case. But the couples should have completed more than a year of their marriage. And they must be residing separately more than 6 months.

As per the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, If the couple wish to file a mutual consent Petition, minimum Six(6) months compulsory waiting period from the date of filing the Mutual consent Petition is fixed under the Statute. So over all it might take you around 7 months to get a mutual consent Divorce.

Minimum One year separation has to be shown in the mutual consent petition filed for Hindus and minimum two year separation has to be shown in the mutual consent petition filed by Christians. Without this legally petition could be rejected
