Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

I am Maryland resident, my wife filed for divorce in November 2009, and I had a we agreed that I am leaving the residency as of April 2010 however she dismissed the case and we reached a separation and Custody agreement first week of August, now I have to wait for one year from the date I moved out of the house in April until I can file for Absolute divorce, my question is does the court consider a religious reason to over ride the one year wait period since due to being religious I cannot have a sex with another women without being married. Please advice that is mean staying for Proxy. Two years without any sexual relations.
