Dear Experts,
My brother is facing divorce case filed by his wife. My brother is planning to convert present petition to MCD. I would like to know that since already 18 months were over to present case so he has to wait for six months or he will be granted divorce on next hearing? Any application for waiver of compulsory waiting period should be given.

courts convert the divorce case pending into divorce case by mutual consent on application made by parties

You have to file fresh petition u/s 13{B} of H.M.A alongwith the application for waiving period of six months.Court may consider your application on ground that already there has been pending cases between the parties and should waive period of six months.
The practise of conversion has now been stopped by SC.
Now only SC can waive off 6 months statutory period under its powers of 142 in Indian Constitution.
