icon Seeking declaration for second marriage as null and void

Can declaration for second marriage as null and void only be filed during the Life time of the spouse or even after his/her death? Kindly recommend latest ruling


A. Dear client,
If your spouse has died, and you have not remarried, then you are considered unmarried. It may seem odd and you may still consider yourself as married. However, in the eyes of the law, your marriage ended when your spouse died.
A voidable marriage is a marriage that can be annulled by one party if both spouses are still alive. Courts will generally not cancel these types of marriages after one spouse dies.

A. Dear client,
Any person, irrespective of religion. Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, , Sikhs, Christians, Parsis, or Jews can also perform marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Inter-religion marriages are performed under this Act.
Section 44 of this Act lays down that if any person commits bigamy, it is illegal and then he/ she is liable under the Section 494 and 495 of the IPC, 1860.

icon Family - forced by her parents to leave her study

My gf is 19. I m 22. She is forced by her parents to leave her study and do marriage to a guy they want but she don't want to marry him and she left her home to marry me without informing her parents


A. Dear client,
Do her parents know about your relationship?
And if you feel like they might file a case, it is better to get an anticipatory bail as you will be accused of a severe offence of Kidnap and abduction.

A. Dear Client
If the MoU has been signed, then in that case she should not be asking for anything else. You have committed a blunder of not mentioning the 5.00 lacs in the MoU that you have already paid to her and now she is taking undue advantage of that.
The issue with Family Court is that the Counselor or the Registrar do not have the judicial powers and hence the matter gets stuck with them. You should request the Counselor to allow you to move the application with the Judge and then you can p ...ReadMore
