Answer #3

Under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a marriage may be dissolved by a decree of divorce on the ground of cruelty. Indian courts have, in appropriate cases, recognised prolonged non-consummation of marriage, particularly where attributable to the conduct, incapacity, or deliberate denial by a spouse, as constituting mental cruelty. From the facts narrated by you, the allegation that the marriage remained unconsummated for approximately 14 months is a relevant circumstance for seeking divorce under Section 13(1)(ia) (if the Hindu Marriage Act is applicable in your case), and appropriate monetary relief in the form of maintenance/alimony can be claimed before the Family Court. However, the exact and complete details of marriage are required to provide you with a conclusive solution in the present case. You are advised to seek appropriate legal assistance in this regard. For any further clarification or assistance, you may contact my office.

Answer #4

Your case fits annulment because the marriage was never consummated due to impotence. However, annulment requires strong proof and can take time if contested. A more practical approach is to file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and simultaneously pursue a mutual settlement to secure reasonable alimony.

Answer #5

you can’t outright alleged the person is gay without solid proof. first collect the proof and then file for cruelty. and if there is separation then desertion. these ground can get you alimony and then divorce.
