Annulment means marriage never solmenised in the eyes of law. In your case if there is no physical relationship after marriage only in that eventuality u can ask for the annulment. Or else u will have to file a divorce petition. Second thing it not the boy who played the fraud upon you it is your father who had unduly influnced you. So u cannot say that there is any fraud from your husbands side. One more thing....seeking annulment of marriage in the above said situation is very very difficult to prove. So i adivse you to exhaust option of divorce instead of annulment

We can file for judicial separation after one year of marriage. You can come and consult us. We need complete facts/ more information in order to be able to guide you properly. If your husband is ready we can file for divorce with mutual consent.

It is upto you first of all you have to decide whether you want to continue the relationship or you want to break it up. The factum of forced marriage against your own father is difficult to be proved. Better go for Decree for judicial sepration under hindu marriage act and then after the expiration of statutory period (one year) you can go for divorce. Regards, Rohini kumar

On the basis of your husband concealing his physical handicap (amongst other grounds) you may successfully institute a petition for divorce before the concerned district court. However, an elaborate explanation of the manner in which to go about your case is not possible here and will require a detailed discussion with a lawyer
