THERE ARE SOME CASES WHERE THE Family courts  ON THE  Precedents SET UP BY The Supreme Court on 2nd hearing if it is convinced that  there is no compatibility  absolutely between the husband and wife and irreconcilable differences  between both the parties to MCD court granted MCD much before 6 months. This 6 months waiting period  is to see whether parties go for reconciliation or cooling period for both the parties to MCD  not to go for MCD. All this depends upon court's observation  during 1 st or second hearing of the parties.If you appreciate this answer please click the thank you button  on this forum.

No District Family Court has power to wave off 6 months waiting period. The Supreme Court of India only has powers under Article 142 to waive off the 6 months period in deserving cases only. You file for the divorce by mutual consent and after 6 months the divorce will be granted by the Distrct Family Court.

Dear Sir,

Only Supreme Court has the power to waive off  six months under the provision of article 142 of the Constitution but District Judge of the Family Court  does not have the power to waive off the time of six months.. However, if you wish to explore the option of waiving of the six months,kindly make an application for waiving off six months in the Family Court, thereafter against the order of the Family Court move to the Supreme Court to waive off six months. You will get the results from Supreme Court.
