If both of you agree for Divorce by way of mutual consent and i presume you both belong to Hindu Religion then under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act you can file a petition for Divorce on the ground that both of you live separately for a period of one year or more and you have not been able to live together and that you both have mutually agreed that the marriage should be dissolved. After filing the Divorce Petition you will have to wait for six more months and at that time only by way of second motion the court will grant you Divorce by way of Mutual consent.

Dear Ma'am,

You may file for divorce under the provisions of Hindu Marriage Act 1955 on the grounds of Mutual Consent. The requirement for filing divorce is one year of marriage and one year of separation. This separation can start even after one month of marriage.

You and your husband may leave separately and file the case after one year. the mutual consent itself is the best grounds. consumation of marriage is not necessary before filing for divorce. consult in person, we will advise properly.
