Answer #2

Hello, If your spouse is willing, you can proceed with a mutual consent divorce, which typically takes around one year to be finalized. However, if there is no agreement, you may opt for a contested divorce, which follows a different legal route and may take longer. To provide you with proper guidance, I will need complete details about your marriage, the issues involved, and any ongoing proceedings. Feel free to share the information so l can assist you better.

Answer #4

If you are not willing to continue this marriage then you can file divorce case. No one can stop you to file divorce. If she agrees then you can file mutual consent divorce under section 13b Hindu marriage act. But now the situation is different you can file under section 13 of Hindu marriage act on the ground of cruelty etc. This is the only way to get separate but it will take time. We have to prove the grounds.
