Question:

Can divorce be filed before one year of marriage in exceptional cases?

A

Answer:

YES! Divorce Before 1 year can be filed & granted but only in Rare cases. As per Section 14 of Hindu Marriage Act the court won’t accept your divorce petition if your marriage is less than 1 year. But if you prove to the court that you have suffered from exceptional hardship or cruelty, serious mental or physical suffering because of matrimonial offenses committed by your spouse like fraud, violence or any other sort of exceptional depravity then the court may allow you to file divorce petition within 1 year of marriage.
