Well, working out of marriage takes lot of time and effort. Only because of differences of opinion or tastes should not be reason to break a marriage. 

If after repeated attempts the marriage is not worked out then only think in terms of divorce.

If you were married to him in India as per Indian laws, then you may have to follow the provisions of Indian law that governs your marriage.

If your marriage was solemnized against your willingness by force or compulsion, then you can file a case for annulment to annul your marriage for the same reason.

If there are no strong reasons or ingredients to file annulment case then you may have to wait for completion of one year of your marriage so that you can file a contested divorce case ion the grounds of cruelty.

In the meantime you can file a petition for judicial separation if you do not want to live together with him until then and start living separately.

- if the marriage has been registered or solemnized as per customs in the presence of witnesses , then this marriage cannot be cancel without approaching the Court of law. 

- You can file a contested divorce petition before the family Court in India on the ground of cruelty , if he is not ready for mutual divorce. 

- Further , if both the parties are residing in US , then you can file divorce petition in US as well . However participation of both the parties are mandatory before the Court for the validation of divorce decree in India.

Dear Client,

If you want the marriage to be dissolved only a week into the marriage, you can request for an annulment, which basically invalidates the marriage. Annulment is governed by The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and can be claimed on reasons of fraud, lack of consent, mental incapacitation or non-performance of marital duty by the other spouse. To begin the process you should seek the services of a divorce lawyer who will help you to file a petition at the right family court. You will need to gather documents which would substantiate your grounds for annulment. The consideration for annulment can be fraud, mental illness, misrepresentation, underage marriage, failure to consummate, impotency, cruelty, polygamy, mental and physical agony. If you choose for annulment, your marriage will considered as it never happened and you can start your new life without any stigma of divorce. It is also advisable to seek the annulment as early as possible as there is certain time limit for filing the petition.

 

Hope you find this advice beneficial.
