Q: Termination of a marriage that was never lived or consummated

A woman of age 27 got me into a relationship with her when I was just 19 years old. I have always been carried away easily by her emotional talks. We were dating for few years and her mother passed away. In about a month after her mother's demise, she got me into a marriage with her, in the grief of her mother's untimely demise. We had a court marriage, without anyone knowing about it, except the witnesses. The very next day after this court marriage, I told her clearly that the marriage was a mistake and it does not mean anything at all. Also, the marriage was never lived in reality. We never have lived under the same roof, nor have been man and wife socially ever. Also, the marriage was never consummated. It has been roughly 8 years to this marriage and we have never lived together in the same home as couples nor has the marriage ever consummated (she never agreed for an intercourse). I am 33 years old now and want to get free of this legally. Please advise.

As you have mentioned that you were in relationship with the same women before marriage , the basic question arise is that what kind of relation ship was that?? secondly you got married after dating for few years so what is the exactly you want to say. you want to take the divorce because the marriage is not consummated or you want to file the divorce because it was a mistake????Now regarding divorce you can file divorce under mutual consent if both are willing to take divorce and end this relation amicably and with allegation on each side. All your differences and demands have to settled before filling the divorce petition .if the opposite party is unwilling to give divorce than you can file on petition and fight for it.

Advocate Sudha Mane answered
yes you can file for divorce under mutual consent. Under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the parties can seek divorce by mutual consent by filing a petition before the court. Mutual consent means that both the parties agree for peaceful separation.The parties intending to dissolve marriage are required to wait for at least one year from the date of marriage. They have to show that they have been living separately for a period of one year or more before the presentation of the petition for divorce, there is differences in their temperament and is impossible to live together as a husband and wife.

Q: Conditions to apply for Annulment of marriage

Within 2 days of my marriage (hindu) my wife cleared her intentions to leave me. she saw white patches on my granny's face in photo kept in marriage ceremony and a patch on my mom's body. She started feeling cheated. She performed Medical test on my mom, result said its temporary and not a genetical issue. Then her parents insisted her not to break marriage. But she was reluctant to listen anybody. On persuasion by her family she agreed to come for honeymoon but there also she only enjoyed foreplay. Upon arrival she came home to explain me the reason of breakup accompanied by 12 uninvited guests. She spoke up all the things we discussed and did in the honeymoon hotels which are considered too private to talk in public. Now proceeding for separation. I met her and her lawyer recently. They r insisting me to take charges of impotence on my head to solve out the matter quickly. I'm finding it offensive. Need advise for divorce or decree of nullity? on which ground?

Advocate Sudha Mane answered
HelloAs mentioned by the entire case it seems that your wife is very much keen in divorcing you. Impotency is one of the ground for annulment and the problem should be even on the day of filling the petition and it should be supported with proper evidence.
