Annulment of marriage for concealing past affair


09-Oct-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi, My name is Rahul sharma and got married this year. My wife had an affair/sexual relation with her boyfriend before marriage and had not disclosed to me before marriage. she has continued affair/adultery after marriage with her boy friend. I have evidence that wife has not disclosed about her past sexual relationship before marriage to me. If she has disclosed to me about her affair/sexual relation about this prior to marriage, i would have never agreed for marriage. Does this come under "constent to marriage was based on fraud" as she has concealed about her past sexual affair? 1. Can i file for annulment of marriage as in this case? 2. if we have good evidences, How long will annulment in general take? Thanks, Rahul

Hi Rahul, well any prior marriage affair cannot be a ground for divorce or annulment and concealment of such things is also not a grave marital offence. However post marriage continuation of the affair/adultery is definitely ground for divorce. While contending adultery her previous history can be based upon to strengthen your case.
