Grounds for divorce after marriage considering my scenario.


23-Jul-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Currently I am just engaged, I feel that girl said yes either under family pressure or for her personal gains, and not because she liked me and wanted to get married with me. I strongly believe that she had some affair earlier and she still has strong feelings for him, and I cannot live with this. I certainly cannot end the engagement, so I am thinking that if what I think turns out to be true then I will end the marriage. My whole thing is that I cannot live with a girl who has no feelings for me and married with me for her personal gains, since our engagement I have shown so much feelings to her and loved her a lot but I don't see same things coming from her. MY QUESTION: After marriage if I feel that she doesn't love me and she still has feelings for that guy then on what grounds I can file a divorce and what I would need to do for that? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AFTER MARRIAGE, I cannot end engagement. What could be divorce grounds AFTER MARRIAGE for my situation?

If you have so much of Doubt... why get married and spoil ur life, after you get divorced you mite be single and can get married again but why waste ur life and tension and run around courts ???

Since you asked after marriage you can still do the following

You can start tracking her calls, messages, taking photos of herself and boyfriend. Whats app messages also helps. Please dont take anything as Dowry and collect all the evidence of herself and her boy friend and medical records also if needed.

The grounds for divorce are very limited, and assumptions are definitely not a grounds for divorce. The law states that you cannot file divorce petition within one year of marriage, and hence you would have to wait for a period of one year at least to initiate divorce proceedings.

Considering that you are Hindu the grounds for divorce are (i) mutual where both the parties agree and file for divorce (ii) if the spouse had voluntary intercourse with any other person other than his/her spouse (iii) if treated with cruelty and (iv) desertion. There are certain other grounds but based on the facts that are provided the grounds as provided can be considered for filing of divorce. However the burden of proving that she is cheating on you would be on you.

You are a confused person and you can't spoil some body''s life on the basis of your suspicion. You don't have any right to act upon your mere doubt so If you think that girl's action is not showing any affection towards you means speak to her and try to know is she having any disinterest in marrying you or there is any pressure from her family to marry you. If not then you can go ahead but as you strongly believe that she might have any affair just because not responding properly for your action then don't go to marry the girl just for the sake of marrying or just because you are engaged. Its the high time to take decision so cancel the engagement and don't go against to your belief and spoil somebody's life and even after marriage also you will be not happy with this suspicion. Hence it is better to cancel the engagement before it becomes too late. Don't make others to victim for your doubt by marrying them.

It's better to talk with her and end up the relationship. If ur know all the facts what is there to continue with that relationship. That is drawback for you to get divorce after willfully you married her even you all the facts

First of all, in your current situation if you feel that the girl is not involved or not interested in you which leads you to think about marriage means, you should talk with her clearly and sort out the things and get the clarity and then you can go ahead with this relationship else you will spoil your life even after knowing the fact, instead of proceeding for divorce after marriage talk now and sort out the things,
If after marriage also she will be continuing with her affair then, you can send her a divorce notice on the ground of Adultery U/s 497 of IPC.
