My brother has been going through a difficult divorce for a year. His wife initially resisted but now wants to end the marriage. The judge has suggested a mutual divorce and set the next hearing in six months. What can he do to speed up the process and get divorced sooner?

In India, a mutual divorce requires both parties to consent and file a joint petition. While the judge’s suggestion is a good sign, your brother should focus on resolving all outstanding issues like property division and child custody amicably with his wife and present a comprehensive settlement to the court at the next hearing. This can significantly expedite the divorce process.
