If you are just married and have not consummated your marriage, you can also consider annulment of marriage.
Do not take divorce lightly as you may be embroiled in a long journey with emotional stress and there might be traumatic effects on your children (if any) and affect your family. (Having said that, we will be coming up with more resources to help you in this journey.) An uncontested divorce is a very good option to consider too as it reduces the time needed and incur lower legal fees.
