If residing together, divorce can be filed in the ground of cruelty (very less chances, if residing together) or it can be mutual divorce.

Under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the parties can seek divorce by mutual consent by filing a petition before the court. Mutual consent means that both the parties agree for peaceful separation.
