See as such there is no fault of girl as she is asking for the marital rights also there is no cruelty from her side so filing and getting divorce here can be difficult if it is not mutual.
The guy can file for annulment if he was forced to marry before the family court.
Also to file divorce he has to accuse the girl or cruelty or other grounds as mentioned under hindu marriage act and has to prove same before the court.
Hello,
The husband has to consult a local divorce lawyer and chalk out options as it will help him to get divorce. As except for mutual consent it will be hard to get divorce in his situation.

Dear Sir,
On the issue of consummation itself the marriage may be said as void and he may approach court for the required relief with strong averment and evidences.
Respected sir....
If both are agree to get divorced then it will be much better for both of them. If they go for contested divorce then that will create problem just convince the girl to file a mutual consent divorce that will be the best option else there is another form of divorce where you have to file divorce under any of ground mentioned below.
These are the ground in your case Desertation will be the best ground if you go for contested divorce petition....
Thank you
The marriage was against his wishes and he was forcibly marriwd to her under parental and societal pressure.
Dear Concern,
Please note that -
01. A marriage which has been forced upon someone is no marriage and can be nullified at the will of the party who has been forced into such marriage. You can apply for the nullification of your marriage under section 12 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 acclaiming that you have been forced to enter into this marriage.
Remember there are few formalities which you have to insure while doing so -
(i) There should be no cohabitation in between the parties which is true in your case, and
(ii) You must come before the court within one year from the date of the marriage. This means if your marriage has happened on 31.10.2019 then you must come before the court on or before 31.10.2020. If you fail to do so you will lose the right to nullify your marriage.
Benefit of coming under this section -
You will become single once again once your marriage stands nullified instead of becoming a divorcee.
Difficulty in contesting this case -
You have to prove that this was a forced marriage in between you and your wife.
Ways to prove the same -
Any documentary or audio, video proof will do the needful. Any text message even on social media messenger like whatsapp, facebook etc will also do in your case. These all are admissible under section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act.
More so above, if you can submit the proof of your forced marriage which dates prior to your marriage then that will be more beneficial to your case.
Another important thing about law is, in Hindu law no marriage is considered as marriage unless it has been consummated in between the parties. In your case, the marriage is yet to be consummated so it is no marriage at all in the eyes of law.
My best wishes to you.
- Non - consummation of marriage is ground for divorce, because the marriage which isn't consummated, may be declared void .
- Hence , he can file a divorce case on the ground of non-consummation of marriage.
- If, both the parties are ready for divorce , then file a mutual divorce petition .
Since the marriage is not yet one year old, he can file a petition seeking annulment of marriage for the reasons that this marriage was forced on him against his willingness.
He also can state in his pleadings that the marriage was not consummated for the same reason.
The annulment petition can be filed within one year from the date of marriage or date of knowledge.
Divorce petition can be filed only after completion of one year of marriage and it will take a very long time especially the grounds for seeking divorce may not be maintainable, hence better file an annulment petition.
No ground. On the contrary, gril can file case of domestic violence and mental cruelty for non consummation of marrige.
To obtain divorce, boy have to prove forced marrige. And have to file divorce within 2 months on the ground of forced marrige. After one year of marrige, this ground dose not sustain.
Other grounds have to prepare.
There are two ways to legally end a marriage – annulment and divorce. If you are withdrawing from marriage and relationship then file petition for nullity of marriage. An annulment is a legal procedure which cancels a marriage between a man and a woman. Annulling a marriage is as though it is completely erased – legally, it declares that the marriage never technically existed and was never valid.
Newly married couples cannot file a petition for divorce within one year of marriage. A divorce, or legal dissolution of a marriage, is the ending of a valid marriage between a man and a woman returning both parties to single status with the ability to remarry. The most common ground for divorce is cruelty. There cannot be any comprehensive definition of the concept of mental cruelty. Mental cruelty is a state of mind. No Resumption of Co-habitation – It becomes a ground for divorce if the couple fails to resume their co-habitation after the court has passed a decree of separation.
1. That he does not love his spouse is not a ground for dissolution of marriage under Hindu Marriage Act.
2. He can file petition for annulment of marriage if he has evidence to prove that his consent to marriage was obtained by force, but it will be very difficult to prove this.
3. The hassle free way to part ways is by filing mutual consent divorce which can be filed only after a year from the date of marriage.
ask the husband to settle the matter amicably with the wife involving elders/relatives/friends etc and go for Mutual Consent Divorce which will be decided in 6-18 months, and both will be free to live life with own desire,
mutual divorce cannot be filed right now since separation of 1 year is mandatory, therefore the couple had to wait till 2-3 months more,
the husband can also file a contested divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty but it will take around 3-5 years,
once he opts for the contested divorce she (wife) may file/claim
498a complaint
Domestic Violence case
maintenance,
1. The person can file for Annulment of Marriage based on forced consent.

8. The time for concluding mutual consent divorce will be 6 months and this cooling period of 6 months can also be waived off in certain cases.

Dear Sir,
Non consummation of marriage entitles you to get divorce. Supreme Court Says, "Spouses owe rights and duties to each other and in their relationship they must act reasonably."
A petition for divorce under Section 13 (1)(1-a) and (iii) of the HMA on the ground of cruelty as well mental disorder can be filed by you.
The Court observed, “Undoubtedly, not allowing a spouse for a long time, to have sexual intercourse by his or her partner, without sufficient reason, itself amounts mental cruelty to such spouse. A Bench of Three Judges of this Court in Samar Ghosh Vs. Jaya Ghosh (2007) 4 SCC 511 has enumerated some of the illustrations of mental cruelty.”...
