My wife and I had a simple Arya Samaj wedding two months ago. We then told our parents, and returned to our families. Now, my wife is refusing to come back, and her parents are saying she wants a divorce. Can a divorce happen so soon after marriage?

Under Indian law, a divorce can be granted even shortly after marriage, if it’s proven that the marriage was not consummated or there are other legal grounds like cruelty, desertion, or mental disorder. However, proving such grounds requires legal proceedings and can be a lengthy process.
