The law is very clear that, divorce can be applied for on the completion of one year of the said marriage In the even of an annulment of marriage on the grounds mentioned in the Hindu marriage act, the faster you apply the better it is. The period of one year does not apply

Yes you have to wait for a period of one year for apply of divorce petition before the Court. There is rule and mandate provision has to be complied otherwise the divorce case will not be admit in the Court. After one year, if you apply for divorce, where there is rule to wait for six months as cooling period. If you have urgency, then you can file a application for waive of cooling period, if court permits then proceeds the matter for divorce. Kindly contact for Further details and information.
