The quickest way to get a divorce is through mutual consent, under Section 13 B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. It is the best way to avoid a long battle in litigation.

1. You can file as many cases as you want as long it is permissible by law.The requirement is when a petition under section 13B is pending no other matrimonial suit seeking similar relief is pending.

2. The court now at its discretion can waive the period of six months.

3. Any of the couple can at any point of change his/her mind before the final motion and nothing could be done to stop this.

Dear Sir,

From the wordings it appears that you have failed in getting mutual divorce. however you can get exparte divorce if she did not appear before the court. Until it is a set aside legally it is treated as valid legal divorce. Make use of the same.

1. You shall have to first file the divorce suit and then jointly file the petition for converting it to MCD petition as suggested in my earlier post.

2. If your wife does not want to appear before the Judge on the day of the 2nd motion then MCD will not be decreed to you and the case will be reconverted to divorce suit as explained in my earlier post.

If she is not attending the court even after receiving the summons in the contested divorce cae then the court may set her exparte and an exparte divorce may be granted.

You file a contested divorce case once again and follow it up properly so that you will not miss the relief this time.

If we again file fresh case under 13 B then again we have to wait for 6 months time.there is once again chance of mind change as already happened with me in last case.kindly suggest what should I do for early disposal of care.

If she agrees for mutual consent divorce this time, then you file it and after a week you both can file a joint affidvit seeking waiver of 6 months cooling period and grant divorce immediately, there is a latest supreme court judgment to waive the 6 months waiting period.

hello

you filed an MCD but it didn't materialize. now ex parte divorce can happen but you have again convinced your spouse so you can again file an MCD petition u/s 13B. yes, you have to wait for 6 months again. your wife has to appear so as to convince the judge that she is taking the MCD without any pressure and she will abide by the terms of the agreement.
