How long does mutual divorce order take after counselling agreement?

Once the counsellor records that both parties have mutually agreed for divorce, the case proceeds under mutual consent divorce provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Section 13B). After the final statement, the court usually records the second motion and passes the decree. Legally, a mandatory cooling-off period of 6 months may apply, but the court can waive it in suitable cases. After completion of formalities, the final divorce order is generally granted within a few weeks to a few months depending on court workload.
