In India, divorce can be obtained on grounds like cruelty, adultery, desertion, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage. You can file for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act or the Special Marriage Act. The process involves filing a petition, serving it on the other party, and attending court hearings. The duration can vary significantly depending on factors such as contested or uncontested divorce, evidence, and court proceedings.

We got married last year in May. My husband and I love each other dearly, but we constantly fight, even over small issues. He’s in the merchant navy, and I’m a homemaker living with my in-laws. In October, due to some disagreements with them, I moved back to my parents’ house. My husband returned in December, but we’ve barely spoken since. After many calls, we finally met with him and his father, but nothing was resolved. We filed for a mutual divorce under Section 13B after speaking with the women’s cell. We then held a panchayat in December and agreed on a financial settlement. They returned my gold, car, and some money, promising the rest within six months. Now, we want to reconcile, but our families oppose it. Can my husband obtain a legal notice from the court to stay with me for at least six months, giving us time to work on our marriage?

My son, a police officer, also runs an LIC agency, making him incredibly busy. This often keeps him away from home late, which has led to my daughter-in-law leaving after 12 years of marriage.
