you are filing the petition for the divorce in mutual consent . it is a law in Hindu marriage act under section 13 b , the mutual consent the petition is finalize after 6 months . This petition, this 6 month is cooling period, in this period the court can do counselling if possible restitution your marital life and so you are thinking that this is the delay in final order . so you have to wait wait for the cooling period the court your matter decide after 6 month. thank you
