Seek a decree of annulment of marriage on the ground that you were forced to give your consent for this marriage.

This suit for annulment has to be filed within one year of marriage.

Hello,

In my advise nullity is not a good option for your case, as though may be the Arya Samaj Mandir was not competent to give certificate but all the rites and rituals of the Hindu Marriage has been performed. Be that as it may, if you will file a case of nullity you will complicate the things; though you have the liberty to file a case for nullity because your consent was taken under force.

I would advise you to file a divorce or go for mutual consent, you may also file FIR against your husband.

1) file for annullment of marriage on grounds of coercion

2) take the plea that you were forced to marry the boy as he threatened to kill himself if you did not marry him

3) mention that after marriage you have not resided with him

4) he suppressed fact that he suffering from sexually transmitted disease

then you may just go ahead and file a suit for nullity. Additionally you may file an FIR against the said person to create pressure so that he agrees for mutual divorce, it is you who is entitled to alimony in this case.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, a marriage must be performed as per the ceremonies, rites and rituals by either of the parties. A Hindu Marriage without rituals is invalid. File a suit for declaration seeking invalidity of your marriage.

I have already advised you to file petition for anullment of marriage on grounds of coercion

2) it can be filed within period of one year

3) only in exceptional circumstances can you file for divorce before expiry of one year of marriage

4) no need to pay him Rs 5 lakhs

Since this marriage was forced on you and against your wishes and also it was solemnised on the threats of suicide by the boy, and moreover you both are not living together ever since marriage and the same was not consummated, you may file a petition seeking to annul the marriage.

As the marriage has been registered you cannot ignore the fact of marriage hence at this stage you can file a petition under section 12 of HMA seeking to annul the marriage by a decree of nullity.

Dont pay him any money as he demands.You can lodge a criminal complaint against him for demanding dowry on the basis of this forced marriage before the local police station in Delhi.

You can also file the annulment petition either in Delhi or at Bhopal, the place where you currently reside..

Consult a local lawyer and proceed on all such further issues on his suggestions.

See, you are in trap, you have not only perform marriage in arya mandir but also got it registered , in that case you are a married person and there is no shortcut, if any one is assuring any thing then that's also false, you are in a trap and if you want to came out of it than lodged a complaint for domestic violence than your hand will be the upper hand to negotiate to take mutual divorce. Because it will be vary hard to proof that your marrage was performed forcefully ,
