Seeking consultation regarding filing divorce or annulment Seeking consultation regarding filing divorce or annulment

2 years ago

I got married recently. We belong to Muslim community. I discovered my husband is absolute impotent and he concealed this fact at the time of marriage. How to proceed, whether I should seek annulment of marriage or divorce? And what financial relief such as maintenance and alimony can be claimed in both the cases? What criminal charges can be put on him?

A.Hi,
Under Muslim law, a marriage can be ended by the death of either the husband or the wife, or by divorce. Fask's hypothesis is repealed, repealed, repealed, repealed, repealed, repealed, repealed, repealed, repealed, repealed, repealed, repeale Prior to the introduction of the Marriage Dissolution Act, Muslim women could only use the Fask doctrine to dissolve their marriage. Because the marriage hasn't been consummated, there would be no problem. Section 2 of the Muslim Marriage Act states that if the husband fails to fulfil his marital responsibilities, including being impotent, it is grounds for annulment.
Thank you very much. Please give the answer a rating.

A.Hi,
A marriage is terminated under Muslim law either by the death of the husband or wife or by divorce. The cancellation, abolition, revocation, and annulment of Fask's theory. Prior to the passage of the Marriage Dissolution Act, Muslim women could only seek the dissolution of their marriage using the Fask doctrine. There would be no issue because the marriage has not been consummated. Under section 2 of the Muslim Marriage Act if the husband has failed to perform marital obligations which include being impotent then it would be considered as a ground for annulment.
Thank you. Kindly rate the answer.
