If your wife fails to prove the existence of the previous marriage, her diverse petition will be dismissed. If you prove that you had a living together relationship and had a child before the marriage, her divorce petition will be dismissed. if your wife proves the existence of earlier marriage by submitting any valid marriage certificate or any marriage invitation or any photograph of your marriage with your previous girl friend, your marriage will be declared as null and void under section 11. if you don't appear, her divorce petition will be allowed ex party divorce. So you have to appear before the court with proper documents.

hello alocious here, I can well understand your concern from the query raised, firstly the child from a previous relationship when suppressed as a fact, would amount to the marriage made under fraudulent act and the marriage would be deemed void, if you don't appear for the hearing subsequently an ex party order will be passed against you, declaring the marriage null and void
