I married 1.6 year back, post marriage there was no sexual intercourse happened and wife left home after 10.5 months after arguments and problems, after that she doesn't returned and doesn't wanted to return. Since there was no sexual intercourse happened, can the marriage be made Null and void on the grounds of non-consummation of marriage. If yes, then how that could be made ?

A.Your relief would depend on the reasons as to why the marriage was not consummated and why your wife choose to leave you or didn't come back. If everything is in your favor then divorce can be obtained on the ground of cruelty. Kindly get in touch with a lawyer to help you file your case without any unnecessary delay.

A.Hi,
You can approach the court and file for declaring the marriage as null and void due to non-consumation of marriage. It amounts cruelty under S. 13 of HMA. The refusal to indulge in sexual intercourse should be persistent one, to qualify as cruelty under S.13.

A.Hi,
You can get your marriage declared as void due to non-consumation. It has been judicially recognized as part of Cruelty under Section 13 of HMA. You will have to approach the court and file a petition for the same.
