Dear Advocates
Please clarify.
Marriage was performed on 28.10.07. We want for valid reasons, annulment of marriage and obtain “Decree of Nullity” of marriage under section 12 (i) b read with clause (ii) b of Section 5.
49 days after marriage (no consummation took place during this period of stay) we came to know about bride’s serious mental disorder for which she has been taking medicines since 1999 as per medical record we have. After 49 days of stay at groom’s place, after long discussion with bride’s parents, groom expressed his intention to ‘not to live’ with her and sent her to their parents place along with her parents.
Is it necessary that for filing a petition for nullification of marriage, groom should file a petition only before 1yr from the date of marriage?.
The reason I am asking this because, after one year from the date of marriage, one is entitled to file a petition for ‘Divorce’, So…for “Nullification of marriage’ is there any constraint that we need to file a petition for the same only “before 1yr” from the date of marriage.
Regards,
