Yes. The court does allow divorce within 6 months of marriage in certain cases. If the marriage has broken down to a significant extent, the statutory requirement of 6 month cooling off period can be waived off. In the landmark judgment in Amardeep Singh Vs. Harveen Jaur (2017) the Supreme Court has rule that if the marriage has irretrievably broken down and there is no possibility of reconciliation, the cooling-off period can be waived allowing for a quicker divorce process.

If your marriage is less than 6 months old, you might be able to go for an annulment instead of a divorce. This is possible if there was fraud, force, impotence, or serious mental illness involved. Normally, you can only file for divorce after 1 year of marriage. It is best to talk to a legal expert who can guide you on the right option and help you act quickly.
