Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, if leave to present a divorce petition before one year is obtained…

Under the proviso to s.14(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act, if leave was obtained by misrepresentation or concealment, the court may pass the decree "subject to the condition that the decree shall not have effect until after the expiry of one year from the date of the marriage", or may dismiss the petition. Any dismissal is without prejudice to a petition brought after the year, so a permanent bar is wrong.
