If she agrees go for Lok Adalat(People's Court) which is attached to district court if both of you attend yoy will be divorced within 1/2 an hour/ Its decree is  equal to a civil court decree and binding on both the parties. Lok Adaklat's are constituted under Legal services Authorities Act and would dispose of cases in an expeditious manner. Or go for MCD  which takes 1 month and now both of you have come to a point of no return in first motion itself ther court  might grant divorce instead of 6 months.You analyse the reasons as to why your marriage has failed and if you marry another person don't commit the same mistakes.

  • where an offence is committed partly in one local area and partly in another, or

  • where an offence is a continuing one, and continues to be committed in more local areas than one, or
