Boy Graduation Faked For Marriage


28-Jun-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Our family married off my sister a year ago. Before marriage they claimed the boy to be graduate and earning well, however after amonth ago it was found that the boy wasn't a graduate (was instead 12th Pass) and was earning under EWS category. Now my family and myself are devastated over the the fraud done to us. Can you please let us know, if we file a case, how much challenges we are going to face to get separated as soon as possible.

You may file for divorce on grounds of fraudulent misrepresentations made prior to marriage. Duping your spouse to be is looked down upon in the eyes of the law. The Courts are harsh upon the perpetrators in these circumstances.

Concealment of fact would fall under the category of fraud and it would lead to annulment of marriage under section 12 of Hindu Marriage Act. You can take this ground for declaring the marriage void. For further consultancy and legal services you may contact us.

Hello. I have perused your query. You can certainly initiate proceedings for annulment of marriage on the grounds of fraud and concealment of material information. As long as it can be established that the conduct of the other party in suppressing the information had a significant bearing on your sister's consent to the marriage, it can be annulled. Please feel free to reach out to me in case you wish to discuss the matter in more detail.
