Is a divorce petition filed in less than a month after leaving the wife at her parents place under some pretext, under HMA section 13(ia), maintainable, irrespective of the grounds of divorce ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Tarwinder Singh, I acknowledge your question. Under section 14 of Hindu Marriage Act divorce petition is maintainable only after one year from the date of marriage. And during separation also at least a year of separation must be there. But in exceptional cases when there is extreme hardship, that shall be brought to the notice of court then such a divorce shall be maintainable in the court of law.
I hope I have answered your query, if you have any further query do drop here.
Have a good day.
