Can I get divorced after 10 days of the marriage?

My wife and I have loved each other for 5 years before getting married. Having got married for 10 days, we realize that we don't get along well. After discussing with each other, we decided to get divorced. We haven’t had any children.

We want to know if we are allowed to get divorced 10 days after obtaining the marriage registration certificate. Thank you.

FDVN’s opinions:

Thank you for trusting the legal service of FDVN Law Firm (FDVN). Regarding your case, after studying the relevant legal documents, FDVN Law Firm offers the following advice:

According to Article 51 of Law on Marriage and Family 2014:

“Article 51. The right to request settlement of divorce

1. Husband or wife or both has or have the right to request a court to settle their divorce.

2. A parent or another next of kin of a spouse has the right to request a court to settle a divorce when the spouse is unable to perceive and control his/her acts due to a mental disease or another disease and is concurrently a victim of domestic violence caused by his/her spouse which seriously harms his/her life, health or spirit.

3. A husband has no right to request a divorce when his wife is pregnant, gives birth, or is nursing an under-12-month child.”

From the time of the official marriage (with the certificate of marriage registration), you and your wife have established a spousal relationship. Accordingly, you or your wife or both has or have the right to ask the Court to settle the divorce. The divorce does not depend on the duration of the marriage. It means that even though your marriage duration is 10 days, you are allowed to carry out the divorce.

Above is FDVN Law Firm's opinion for your request. Hopefully, FDVN's advice would be helpful to you.
