Mutual consent divorce is the fastest and most cost-effective way to end a marriage in India. Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (or equivalent provisions under other personal laws), both spouses can jointly file for divorce by mutual consent. Current procedure in 2025:

File a joint petition (First Motion) in the family court.

Both parties record their statements; court grants a 6-month cooling-off period. After 6 months (and up to 18 months), file the Second Motion.

On the second hearing, the court grants the divorce decree.
Note: The Supreme Court has ruled that the 6-month cooling-off period can be waived in genuine cases. Our experienced divorce lawyers in [Your City] can help you complete the entire process in 6–8 months.
