Dear Querist

You may file an annulment petition before family court based on her impotency under section 12 of Hindu Marriage Act.

Where both of you lived together lastly or marriage was solemnized.

Divorce by mutual consent can be finished in six month to 18 months.

Feel free to call

If your marriage wasn't consummated and your wife is not cooperating or refused to have conjugal relationship with you, and if the same is continuing then you can suspect her to be impotent.

Thus based on the non-consummation of marriage owing to her impotency you may file a petition to annul your marriage by a decree of nullity due to the said reason.

What are those exceptional circumstances and who decides it???? One more thing my marriage took place in trivandrum, kerala.. I live in pune. So where can I file for divorce??? And divorce by mutual consent will take how much time from the date of my marriage??

A petition to dissolve or annul the marriage can be filed at the place of marriage or the place where both resided last together or the place where she resides now.

For Filing a divorce petition here should be a separation for atleast one year between two. You can wait for one year to file divorce on mutual consent grounds too.
