One of my relative married in December 2015. Due to adjustmennt problem both parties desires mutual Divorce u/s 13B of Hindu Marriage Act. The Lawyers advice to wait till December (One year time requirement to file the petition) & thereafter another minimum 6 months for decree. Both parties are determined for divorce and came on conclusion with marathon social meetings. Both parties are anxious for immediate or earliest seperation decree. One of my Lawyer freind adviced that Court has powers to condon the requirement of minimum 1 year's time but not able to guide with legal authority. Perhaps The Hon'ble Supreme Court has also ruled in this manner. Secondly I heard That The hon'ble Supreme Court in this month itself has waived the requirement of minimum 6 months too for decree in mutually consented joint application. The matter relates to Uttar Pradesh & SC or Allahabad High Court Rulings might have direct effect. I shall be obliged if anyone can guide me with legal provisions / Rullings on this issue for earliest possible divorce decree.-
