Anulment Of Marriage - Ground Unsound Mind
10-May-2026 (In Divorce Law)
I was married to a girl who was taking psycriatic drug at the time of marriage. They expressed this fact partially and gave us prescription of her treatment which was 1-2 year older from marriage date. But after marriage her behaviour issue and some other weired things came out and then we found that they suppressed few facts during marriage. Now it's almost 2 years of marriage, and her irrational behaviour we found more from last 1 year. So can we go for anulment of this marriage now as we are facing major behaviour and anger issue from her which becomes unmanageable, and I want to close this marriage.
Yes, you can take a divorce and there are two types of divorce, first is when husband or wife take divorce with their mutual consent, we file it under Hindu Marriage Act 13b, in this the divorce happens within a maximum of 6 months and the second type is when there is contradiction between husband and wife, then as per Hindu Marriage Act under section 13A we can file for divorce and either of the husband or wife can file and take a divorce, this option takes a little more time as compared to the first type.

If it can be proved that serious mental illness and continuous psychiatric treatment were deliberately concealed before marriage, you may explore filing a petition for annulment on the ground of fraud/suppression of material facts. However, annulment cases are decided strictly on evidence and delay in taking action can affect the case, especially after 2 years of marriage and continued cohabitation. In many such situations, divorce on grounds such as cruelty and mental disorder may be a more practical legal remedy. Preserve all medical records, prescriptions, messages, and incidents showing violent or irrational behaviour, and consult a local family court lawyer immediately to evaluate the strongest option based on the facts and applicable personal law.

Yes , you can take divorce on unsoundness of mind .Prescription of psychiatric drugs are required to file for contested divorce. As you already were unaware about the facts of her unsoundness at the time of marriage and also they have hidden this crucial fact which is a solid ground to get the divorce.

Divorce legally dissolves a valid marriage, whereas an annulment erases a marriage by declaring it null and void, treating it as if it never legally existed. While divorce is based on issues that arise during a valid marriage, annulment requires proving the marriage was fundamentally invalid from the beginning.
