You can file a petition to nullity of marriage for the reason of your marriage taken place when you were minor. At the same time, you can file the petition on the ground of cruelty also. If the divorce case is contested by your husband then it will take atleast 3 years to get an order. If you plead for nullity of marriage you have prove that the marriage was taken place when you were minor by producing the sufficient document to prove your age.

If you have decided to divorce your husband then you can file for divorce. From what you have stated, you are suffering a lot of mental cruelty and harassment and it is a fit case for divorce. Where are you living? Depending upon the Court, I can tell you how long it will take to get divorce. It will usually take 2 to 3 years to obtain divorce. In some cases you may get it earlier also depending upon your husband's objection. Kindly contact me for a detailed discussion so that I can give you clear guidance and advice.

Hello,

You may file a divorce in the ground of cruelty.
Since you have a kid through this marriage though the marriage happened when you minor today the marriage is valid so you have absolute rights to go for divorce.
