Yes, this is a fit case to seek annulment, since your marriage has not consummated due to the impotency of your wife and the fraud played upon you to fall for this marriage.
File a petition seeking nullity of your marriage.
Move an application under sec. 27 of the Hindu Marriage Act to recover the expenses that you incurred on this marriage.
Contact a local lawyer.
immediately lodge a complain before local police as you are fearing false cases of domestic violence, maintenance and 498A and seek protection and moreso file divorce with doctors certificate

Hi, yes you can file for annulment of marriage on the medical grounds ..impotency is a valid ground of annulment of marriage ..
Impotency is ground of disvorce .
If tests prove your spouse is unable to have sex or if your spouse refuses the tests—the judge may grant your divorce.
if i file for annulment. the doctors ie gynaecologist letters are enough or testimony of my wife will be recorded? because she will deny the truth to protect herself. Will she be required to attend the proceedings as they are adament and want me to compromise. what is the remedy available to me in this case. 2 doctor letters i am having. one for treatment for marks and other is non consumation. will that be enough for smooth annulment??

Hi,
All the ground you provided are not the ground for the annulment of the marriage. the phobia for the pain can not be treated as the impotency.
You need to wait for a year to complete and still if you feel that you are not going ahead in this relation the file a Divorce petition on the compatibility issue instead of the reasons you provided because all these are contestable and will take alot of time.
Hello,
Yes she will be required in the court. Her testimony will also be required, no order will be passed by just relying on the medical report. At that juncture you may ask for a report from a government doctor.
Nothing is smooth in law, you will have to face the rigors. Notice will be sent to her, she will also appear and tell her story.
On what terms are they agreeing for settlement?
Regards
Q. if i file for annulment. the doctors ie gynaecologist letters are enough or testimony of my wife will be recorded?
And.Yes, the medical evidence you have is sufficient, unless your wife dislodges the same by producing counter evidences.
Yes, she will be required to participate in these proceedings, In case she does not turns up before the Court, the Court will proceed to file the matter ex parte.
Yes, the evidences you have with you are sufficient to initiate a case for annulment.
it should plus if any test which doctor asked to do, such reports should be filed too
Section 12 in The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
12 Voidable marriages .
(1) Any marriage solemnised, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, shall be voidable and may be annulled by a decree of nullity on any of the following grounds, namely:
12 [(a) that the marriage has not been consummated owing to the impotence of the respondent; or]
(b) that the marriage is in contravention of the condition specified in clause (ii) of section 5; or
(c) that the consent of the petitioner, or where the consent of the guardian in marriage of the petitioner 13 [was required under section 5 as it stood immediately before the commencement of the Child Marriage Restraint (Amendment) Act, 1978 (2 of 1978)*], the consent of such guardian was obtained by force 14 [or by fraud as to the nature of the ceremony or as to any material fact or circumstance concerning the respondent]; or
(d) that the respondent was at the time of the marriage pregnant by some person other than the petitioner.
So annulment can be seeked and the reports of gynecologist pertaining to the impotence can be relied upon.
Also the fraud along with impotence can be ground getting marriage annulled.
File under section 12 of hindu marriage act
you have a air tight case for Annulment on the ground of non consummation of marriage duly supported by the certificate of a medical practitioner. Even if your wife denies this or challenges the certificate issued by her treating doctor, you can rebutt the same by summoning the Doctor to testify and also substantiate the contents of his medical certificate in court.
Also you can seek for waiver of the mandatory 1 year waiting period before filing of the Petition in the family court.
Yes the wife will be called upon examination as exparte order in annulment shall not be passed till your wife avoid such proceedings intentionally.
Medical reports on impotency will suffice the ground if not contradicted by your wife by filling other reports disputing reports filed by you.
Mere gynaecologist letter is not sufficient
2) your wife would be issued notice
3) she can contest the anullment proceedings
4) lead evidence that she is not impotent
5) she can get herself examined in govt hospital and rebut the report of your gynaecologist
1) Yes, you can file suit for Annulment of Marriage and you have sufficient evidence in your hand. So you can proceed further. If you require any help or guidance.
Hi Dear client
There are two ways to to legally end marriage - annulment and divorce. Annulling a marriage is as though it is completely erased - legally, declares that the marriage never technically existed and was never valid.
A divorce or dissolution of marriage, is the ending of a valid marriage, is the ending of valid marriage between man and a woman.
The following is a list of common grounds for annulment of marriage :
1. Biagamy : either party was already married another person at the time of the marriage.
2. Forced consent
3. Fraud
4. Marriage prohibited by law
5. Mental illness
6. Mental incapacity
7. Inability to consummate marriage
8. Underage marriage
As per the above grounds you can go for annulment of marriage and dear client you got good case to file the case against for annulment of marriage.. nothing to worry you can go ahead.
I would like to tell you if you want go for divorce/ dissolving the marriage the major grounds are:
1. Adultery
2. Desertion
3. Physical/ emotional abuse
4. Cruelty
As per the law you got all rights to go for annulment or divorce.
For further details call me. Thank you
If you have filed a suit for annulment under section 12 of Hindu marriage act better get commissioner appointed by court to conduct medical examination on her. Since she may contest that your medical reports are fabricated. You can also file for dissolution of marriage under cruelty ground that Is Sec 13(1)(a) of Hindu marriage act.
Dear Sir,
Non consummation of marriage entitles you to get divorce. Supreme Court Says, "Spouses owe rights and duties to each other and in their relationship they must act reasonably."
A petition for divorce under Section 13 (1)(1-a) and (iii) of the HMA on the ground of cruelty as well mental disorder.can be filed by you.
The Court observed, “Undoubtedly, not allowing a spouse for a long time, to have sexual intercourse by his or her partner, without sufficient reason, itself amounts mental cruelty to such spouse. A Bench of Three Judges of this Court in Samar Ghosh Vs. Jaya Ghosh (2007) 4 SCC 511 has enumerated some of the illustrations of mental cruelty.”...
Respected sir ...
you have to file a petition in the court under section 12 of HMA seeking decree of nullity of marriage from court ..a petition of nullity of marriage is presented by any of the spouse is contravenes any one of the conditions specified in clause 1-4-5 of section 12 ...
sir to get such decree you need the certificate from doctor as well as his testimony in the court along with the testimony of your wife as court will have to follow the principal of natural justice if doctor issued her a certificate then you need not to worry you will easily get the decree from the court
Thank you
Yes, if what you have mentioned in the query is correct, you should be able to seek annulment of your marriage on the ground of fraud and misrepresentation. However, i would advise you to harp more on her impotency or dyspernia and the mental condition rather than the black patches for the same.
Yes doctor's letters enough for testimony of my wife will be recorded.
Yes she will be required to attend the proceedings
Yes it will enough for the annulment and try to make the doctors as witness to your matter.
Non consummation is ground for divorce and not annulment, obtaining of consent by fraud is ground for annulment.
1. You can file a petition before the Court praying for annulment of your marriage on the ground that vital information about her mental ailment, dyspernia and also physical deformity was suppressed from you while availing your consent for the said marriage and had the said fact been made known to you, consent for the said marriage would not have been given by you.
2. Such application for annulment of marriage shall have to be filed within 1 year from the date of your having come to know about the facts which were suppressed from you and not after that.
3. So, you can file it right now.
1. You file your annulment petition with the prescription and certificate issued by the doctors.
2. The Court might direct your wife to be medically verified by doctors of a Govt. hospital for giving medical report in connection with your allegation.
You can annul the marriage but the grounds must be just and reliable. You can't annul on the basis of marks on her body. I'd mental condition was not told to you or any material fact was deliberately concealed from you then only you can go for annulment.
You file for annulment of marriage. The court will send your wife of medical examination again
If the marriage was not consummated owing to her impotency and other incurable disease namely insanity or mental ill health which was material to marriage but suppressed by her parents, you may file a petition seeking annulment of marriage on the same grounds.
The doctor's certificate that she is mentally incapable for a physical sexual relationship shall be a strong evidence to support your pleadings seeking annulment of your marriage with her.
