No

No you cannot seek divorce within an year you have to wait for completion of an year .

As per the Hindu Marriage Act, a petition for divorce cannot be filed before a year has lapsed from the date of marriage. However, in certain exceptional circumstances, the Court may grant divorce, provided the marriage has irretrievably broken down or the party/ parties to the marriage are facing exceptional hardship.

The Hon�ble Judges of Bombay High Court have in a case, stated that though Section 14 of the Hindu Marriage Act is intended to discourage young couples from initiating divorce proceedings on frivolous and irresponsible grounds � it also has certain exceptions, like where a spouse faces exceptional hardship or exceptional depravity. It is for the family court to decide as per the circumstances, whether there is a prima facie case of exceptional hardship or depravity.

Consult an expert in this regard since divorce before 1 year of marriage in India is tough. You can call me at 09555 507 507 or send me a mail at [email protected] to discuss this issue in depth.
