Married spouses can apply for divorce sooner than one year if one of them has committed adultery, which hasn’t been forgiven by the other spouse, or if one of them has abused the other and it is not possible to continue the relationship. Most marriage spouses apply for a divorce because of their separation, not because of adultery or cruelty. The only thing you get for asking for a divorce on these grounds is a quicker divorce. If you are thinking of asking for a divorce because of adultery or cruelty, remember that you must be able to prove that the adultery or the cruelty happened. | Married spouses can apply for divorce sooner than one year if one of them has committed adultery, which hasn’t been forgiven by the other spouse, or if one of them has abused the other and it is not possible to continue the relationship.
