Dear Sir,
I am writing highlights of my story here. Apologize for writing a long essay. Kindly give your suggestion in this situation. Is my situation comes under annulment of marriage.
I got married on 2nd august 2021 by hindu rituals.
Before marriage I lived in Delhi (not my hometown) for 11 years to complete my studies and then job.
In November 2020 me and my husband had our first telephonic conversation for office related work (Guy lives in Punjab). In January 2021 we first met for office purpose. Till that time we only had a conversation related to job and office work. In march 2021 he asked me for marriage. Both of us talked to our parents and they agreed. Since there was a lockdown in march, we had our telephonic conversation on daily basis till April. I live with my girl flatmate in Delhi. After one month of telephonic conversation, I got a surprise from my would be husband. He came to my flat without informing me in the lockdown by some means. At that time I decided to let him stay with me for some time. After that he refused to go back to punjab, his mother sent one dress(lBridal outfit) with him. After a week his mother started giving continuous pressure by suggesting way to do marriage (Arya samaj marriage, court marriage, by hindu rituals). As there was complete lockdown all the suggestions failed, and two and half month passed. Then she started giving counseling to come to Jalandhar for two three month until the city open. After a week of discussion and continuous pressure from both my would be husband and his mother, I gave up and went to his house without informing my parents. (My would be husband didn't had a job or any means of finance to support his stay in Delhi, all expenses done my savings, I also lost job due to lockdown). After reaching Punjab, as promised we would live separately for few months and then go back, but his mother's plan was beyond the imagination. She forced me to wear sindor and Mangal-sutra and join their community as a married women.
I was trapped and did what was suggested by them. They were not allowing me to go back to my home, and forced me to talk to my parents for marriage as soon as possible. From May to August I stayed with them. In July end they convinced my parents for the marriage. I went to my home for three days with his family and next day to marriage returned back with him. After marriage I got to know many things about the family's past. My husband was divorced in a case of domestic violence.
In the fear of loosing trust in my parents eyes. I did what they suggested.
Feb 2021 I came to meet my parents. In March 2021 my mother-in-law disclosed all the picture of before marriage Infront of my family. From April 2021 I am living alone in my home town, because my family disowned me for my faults without listening to me. Now I am managing my own expenses .
The question I would like to ask is
Can I file for annulment of marriage on the behalf of forced or fraud? what proof I need to show in court for the same.

A.Dear Client,

I’d suggest you to consult an advocate along with all the relevant documents you have regarding your marriage.
You can get an annulment but it would be better for you that if you file a divorce suit against your husband.

A.Yes you can file but it would be better for you that if you file a divorce suit against your husband and before that you have to consult with your advocate along with all the relevant documents you have regarding your marriage. Without having proper consultation it would be very tough to explain you every possible remedies. You can also file a domestic violence case against your husband and in laws thereby asking for accommodation and financial help. You can also file a maintenance case against your husband for maintaining your daily livelihood.
