Hi
You can nullify this marriage on the ground of marital fraud.
In order to get your marriage nullified you have to file petition before family court where the matter will be contested on merits.

Well yes, you can go for nullity of marriage but one thing goes against you. As per the query you have stated that you two have already taken a divorce on stamp paper from your samaj; however such divorce has no stand legally, but indirectly you have waived the fraud committed to you by indulging in a divorce instead of a stand of nullity. So in my opinion I think that you need to decide first whether you want to challenge the marriage on the ground of fraud or to seek a divorce from court by waiving you right to nullity and that you cannot file both the cases simultaneously.

No marriage can't be nullified only on this ground.

But if you think you have been cheated by him then on this ground you can take divorce from him.

If you stay away from him till one year then u can get MCD.

Definitely u can nullify ur marriage by filing case but I will advice u to go for divorce by mutual concent. From ur information I think he is ready to give divorce then in such situations besy option is to obtain divorce by mutual consent.

Hello Ma'am
Certainly you can appeal for divorce in the District court or family court whenever is applicable in the area you are residing. Yes you can get divorce on the basis of misrepresentation and fraud about the degree and husband being a criminal intellect may go to jail for such fake and illegal documents. He may have done some other frauds may be but this very fraud could lead to a jail term so all that is accountable for divorce and you can ask for maintenance and compensation.
