law: Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
  14.No petition for divorce to be presented within three
  
  years of marriage.-
  (1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, it shall not
  
  be competent for any court to entertain any petition for dissolution of a
  
  marriage by a decree of divorce, unless at the date of the presentation of the
  
  petition three years have elapsed since the date of the marriage:
  Provided that the court may, upon application made to
  
  it in accordance with such rules as may be made by the High Court in that
  
  behalf , allow a petition to be presented before three years have elapsed since
  
  the date of the marriage on the ground that the case is one of exceptional
  
  hardship to the petitioner or of exceptional depravity on the part of the
  
  respondent, but, if it appears to the court at the hearing of the petition that
  
  the petitioner obtained leave to present the petition by any misrepresentation
  
  or concealment of the nature of the case, the court may, if it pronounces a
  
  decree, do so subject to the condition that the decree shall not have effect
  
  until after the expiry of three years from the date of the marriage or may
  
  dismiss the petition without prejudice to any petition which may be brought
  
  after the expiration of the said three years upon the same or substantially the
  
  same facts as those alleged in support of the petition so dismissed.
  (2) In disposing of any application under this section for leave
  
  to present a petition for divorce before the expiration of three years from the
  
  date of the marriage, the court shall have regard to the interests of any
  
  children of the marriage and to the question whether there is a reasonable
  
  probability of a reconciliation between the parties before the expiration of
  
  the said three years.
