Quick Summary

In the UK, applying for a divorce before completing one year of marriage is generally not permitted unless there are exceptional circumstances. Behaving like a child is typically not considered a valid legal ground for divorce, nor does it usually fall under cruelty. Therefore, in most cases, you will need to wait until the first anniversary of your marriage to initiate divorce proceedings. Alimony considerations before the one-year mark are also unlikely to be successful.

Behaving like a child is not a valid reason for divorce.
Getting married and going for divorce within five months that too without any exceptional reason would not be entertained by court
This will not fall under the grounds of cruelty too.
Hence you may have to wait for completion of one year of marriage

Yes. You have to wait at least one year.
