HINDU
The Hindu Marriage Act governs marriages between Hindus, and the Special Marriage Act governs both inter- and same-faith marriages. The Act requires that the couple show that they have been living separately for at least 1 year before they knock the doors of the court. Only after showing the stipulated duration of separation a divorce petition can be filed. The decree of divorce that sets the couple free takes another 6 months. The court keeps the plea alive for 18 months in the hope of possible reconciliation.
CHRISTIANS
The Indian Divorce Act deals with marriages of Christians. Christians have to show two years of separation before initiating the legal process. Similarly two years of separation is a must in England.
MUSLIM
The Muslim Marriage Act(1939) allows Muslim women to file for divorce in the family court.
PARSI
There is no waiting period of six months after a petition has been filed for divorce by mutual consent, though the period of separation of . The divorce court for Parsis is Bombay High Court, which periodically appoints a special judge to hear divorce pleas.
STAYING SEPARATELY
As per Supreme Court of India, the couple could be considered to be residing separately even if they are staying in the same household.
ANNULMENT
Marriages can also be annulled; this means that the court certifies that there has not been any marriage at all.
Women usually ask for annulment on grounds of
  1. impotency,
  2. non consummation of marriage,
  3. mental disorder,
  4. insanity,
  5. fraud and deception.
Men usually ask for annulment if wife is
  1. frigid or
  2. is already pregnant at the time of the marriage or
  3. suffers from a mental disorder.

If people are considered mature enough at 18 years to be able to vote a leader for the nation, to be able to drive, and if they are considered mature enough to marry, why are they not considered mature enough to get a divorce immediately rather than wait for 18 months, when they both seek divorce with mutual agreement?
