NRI fraud
1 week ago
What should be done if a U.S. green card holder guy vanishes after a 4-year long-distance relationship without granting a divorce? I need assistance regarding Indian laws concerning NRI fraud cases.
A.Dear Client,
Indian laws allow the registration of Marriage between an Indian and a foreign citizen. If your marriage happens following the Hindu rituals and customs or is registered under the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 or Special Marriage Act 1954 in compliance with the formalities by the foreign citizen. In that case, you can file a divorce petition on the ground of desertion before the Family Court or the District Court seeking a decree of divorce. According to Section 13(1)(ib) of the HMA, if one of the parties to the marriage has deserted the other for a continuous period of two years immediately preceding the presentation of the petition, then that person can file a petition for divorce. So, desertion is a valid grounds to seek divorce by either spouse. Contested divorce which is also known as one-sided divorce occurs when one spouse wants to end the marriage. If the respondent fails to appear or respond in the one-sided or contested divorce case, the court may proceed with a ruling based on the testimony of the petitioner. A contested divorce is more expensive and time-consuming than a mutual divorce. So, when there is no possibility of cohabitation and no scope of mutual divorce, you can file a one-sided/contested divorce petition before the appropriate Court praying for a decree of divorce. If the wife files a divorce petition on the grounds of desertion seeking maintenance/alimony and wins, then in most cases of divorce, it is the husband who has to pay financial support to his divorced wife. However, grounds for one-sided divorce reflect the various challenges and complexities that may arise in the course of divorce proceedings. It is always recommended to consult an expert divorce lawyer to get the right legal advice before filing a contested divorce petition.
