Do one thing, kindly prepare one application in written. Mention each and everything which happened to you and said to you along with date and time. Also attach screenshots of call logs. Then send this application to nearest police station. However, no police official will demand money on phone. So, better to avoid this.

Q: How to change marital status on certificate

Good morning sir My self Alka I got marriage with USA citizen. Before this ,I was in Australia with my partner without marriage. I had baby born there ,me and my partner seperated now since last five years. Now married with USA citizen. Now He want apply visa for me and my daughter. But we did little bit mistake in marriage certificate form that I suggested my status as divorced.Actually it should have been separated. I made mistake there. What should I do now?Because i was single separated before marriage. Plz guide me how I solve this problem? Thx

Advocate Chaitanya Limbachiya answered
For this you first approach the authority who have given you the certificate. There you need to submit affidavit for changing status from " Divorced " to " Separated ". It may take time. If they deny then ask then whether order of court for changing the same is sufficient? Generally, court would allow the same in good faith and for justice. So, it's possible to change status in marriage certificate but you first need to obtain proper decree of the court or else proper representation before competent authority.

Now, I intends to take divorce or NULLIFY the existing my marriage. Please guide me legalized way

Advocate Chaitanya Limbachiya answered
See, do you have any kids? It will matter the most. As she can claim that you have knowledge of this marriage.Another weak point from your side is that you are already delay by 15 hours. So, limitation act will be obstruction.However, you can file petition to nullify marriage in local family court. But you need to convince court for delay and cause of action for nullifying the marriage.
