Hello Sir, as per the Hindu Marriages Act, the petition for divorce can be filed by the either party after one year from the date of marriage. so it is clear that with in a year, the petition for divorce cannot be filed.If you sister was put in such harassement or torture( dowry and physical) then go and lodge complaint against them for dowry and physical harassment. In the mean while, if she likes to living with her parantal home, she can live there and he cannot compelled or force her to live with him. But at the same time , he can approach the court by filing the petition for restitution on conjugal right(that means to direct her to live with him) , after receving court notice your sister can contest the case. It will take minimum 2 years to decide the case. In the meanwhile your sister can file a divorce petition on the ground of cruelty, alleging his cruel attitutes. Mostly after lodging the dowry harassment complaint the matter will be settled. If he is willing to give consent for divorce, both of them can jointly file the same after one year from the date of marriage. Hope, your query has been solved.

We may file case under Cruelty – A spouse can file a divorce case when he/she is subjected to any kind of mental and physical injury that causes danger to life, limb and health. The intangible acts of cruelty through mental torture are not judged upon one single act but series of incidents. Certain instances like the food being denied, continuous ill treatment and abuses to acquire dowry, perverse sexual act etc are included under cruelty.
