Dear Sir,
If it is mutual divorce you have to wait for cooling period of 6 months or file a petition to waive off such cooling period on some grounds otherwise contesting divorce may take 12-24 months.

It is not clear which religion you belong to. For Hindus, you cannot apply for Divorce within 1 year of marriage, but you can apply for annulment or declaration that the marriage is 'null and void' by filing an appropriate petition under the relevant provisions before the Family Court.

Even if the marriage is un-registered, you can file the case by submitting marriage invitation and marriage photos as proof of marriage.
