See if he has been married for less than one year then he cannot take take divorce from his wife. However he can seek annulment of maariage from the court on the grounds mentioned in section 12 of HMA.
However in your case he should wait for one year and then take divorce on the ground of cruelty

Dear Querist as explained, your friend is unhappy with the marriage but the reason for unhappiness is not given. There are certain provisions for filing divorce within initial one year of marriage however for this a detailed discussion is required. Thanks & Regards.
