If the police refuse to register your complaint, you still have legal options. First, give your complaint in writing to the police station and keep proof that you submitted it. If the police still do not take action, you can send the complaint to the **Superintendent of Police (SP)**. If there is still no action, you can approach the **Magistrate/Court** and request the Court to direct the police to investigate the matter. In simple terms: **Police Station → SP → Magistrate/Court** If your complaint is about a serious offence, you should take legal advice quickly so that the proper remedy can be taken.

If both you and your spouse have mutually agreed to divorce, the process is generally simpler and faster than a contested divorce. In a mutual-consent divorce, the usual timeline is around **6 to 8 months** from filing the petition to obtaining the final divorce decree. The process generally involves two stages: 1. **First Motion:** Both spouses jointly file the divorce petition and record their consent and settlement terms. 2. **Second Motion:** After the statutory waiting period, both parties confirm their consent, following which the Court may pass the final divorce decree. In appropriate cases, the **six-month waiting period can be waived by the Court**, depending on the facts and whether issues such as maintenance/alimony, children, property and other disputes have been completely settled. Therefore, the exact time will depend on the Court's schedule and the circumstances of your case.
