1. You have married her legally. If anybody had forced you to marry him, you should have lodged a police complaint against him/her/them,

2. "The guy even knows that i hate him" is no ground to seek a decree of divorce from him,

3. In fact from your query I do not find any ground for divorce,

4. However, you can negotiate with him and file a mutual consent divorce petition after one year of your marriage,

5. If he does not agree for MCD, you can file a divorce petition on the ground of cruelty with supportive evidence.
