The duration of a divorce in a Hindu marriage in India depends on the specific grounds and the court’s workload. It can take anywhere from a few months to several years. A mutual consent divorce is usually faster than contested divorces.

We’ve been married for four years now, and our little one is just turning three. Sadly, things haven’t been good between us. My husband constantly insults me and my family, and it’s getting unbearable. He even doubts my character just to start fights. He’s threatened to throw me out of the house too. What should I do?

My wife and I got married in 2004 under the Special Marriage Act, keeping it a secret from both our families. We lived separately until 2007, when we had a small ceremony and she moved in with my parents. Her family didn’t attend and basically disowned her. Later, in 2010, she got a government flat and we started living there. Now, in 2014, she filed a police complaint against me under sections 498A, 406, and 34, after I initiated divorce proceedings and moved out. Can section 406 be applied in a court marriage?

Is it truly necessary to resort to legal action under sections like 24, 25, 125, and 498 A of the Hindu Marriage Act for protection? This question arises as a case has been filed against someone under section 12 of the Act based on epilepsy and its non-disclosure. As we understand, since December 2009, section 5 of the Act has been amended, making epilepsy no longer a valid ground for divorce. Furthermore, the non-disclosure of such a condition doesn’t seem to justify a divorce under any other section of the Act. We’d appreciate a quick response on this matter.
