you query is not believable, where are you from? why do want divorce after 16 year.
Shonee Kapoor (Expert) 05 December 2011
You were told rightly, you should have applied divorce by the age of 20 only.

Now, the divorce can happen by Mutual Consent or by fault grounds only.

At the age of 7,it was not a valid marriage.
Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 05 December 2011
The marriage is valid for which you should go for mutual divorce or contested divorce.

Sorry! But although a marriage after 01/10/78
is required between two major in which boy must be 21 and girl of 18 but if accidently are otherwise this rule is offended,the hindu marriage Act does not declare such marriage void or illegal.

Under Hindu Marriage Act only 03 conditions attract a marriage void:
1]where either party has a spouse at the time of marriage;or

2]the parties are within the degrees of prohibited relationship;or

3]the parties are sapindas of each other.

SO all other marriages shall be treated valid.

You can not marry any other girl so long your ties with former are there..

Mr Ano,

it is important when you came to know about your marriage?
Certainly you don't remember what u did at your age of 7 year, and you had not consumed the marriage, so you had not accepted her as your wife.
Your marriage is voidable u/s 12 (b) , and there is no limitation of 2 years. can apply. you came to know know now? U were unaware of this fact till date?

I can explain u better on phone. it will help u.
Shonee Kapoor (Expert) 06 December 2011
I disagree Mr. Shroff, the marriage is not voidable under this section.

The marriage is voidable only under Sec 3(3) of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006.
