if marriage between parties has taken place it cannot be cancelled by agreement . such a marriage can be dissolved only by court granting divorce .

Mr.Ajay, the querist says that the marriage itself performed by way of agreement, that too notarized. The question araises whether it is a valid agreement. The question araises whether it is marriage in accordance with law.

No marriage can be performed by way of agreement. In India pre nupital agreement has no force.

Are they HUSBAND AND WIFE?? OR LIVED TOGETHER AS h-w??
ANSWER MUST BE "NO"


Under the circumstances, it is void.

The word marriage is used by querist so no other meaning should be derived thereof.

Now come to real problem. After marriage, the relationship of husband and wife can be broken permanently by way of a court decree and not by rescinding of the agreement even otherwise a Hindu marriage is not a contract/agreement..
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 27 January 2014
Query is not clear whether agreement is after marriage or marriage has taken by agreement only and not by customs? Whether it was registered or not? If marriage has taken place whether marriage has been registered as per law? Whether the agreement is regarding they would enter into the agreement.

Without going into the terms of agreement nothing fruitful can be advised.

Marriages performed under Muslim marriage law are contract in nature unlike other religions. Here if the author is referring to the betrothal as marriage agreement executed before a notary, the answer is that it is not legal. further such things cannot be executed before a notary, only an affirmation of an affidavit or any other thing can be made in his presence or before him. Therefore the agreement will not hold legal validity.

Respected Mr.T.Kalaiselvan.Is the author told you he is a muslim PLEASE ADVISE THE QUERISTS TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH OUT DEFAMING ANY RELIGION OR CASTE> SURPRISINGLY WHERE MUSLIM COME FROM AUTHOR
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 29 January 2014
@expert Mr. NJSR alias Narasimha: I humbly request you to not to read between the lines, if you go through my answer properly you will find out what I was intending mean by it. The author's query is marriage agreement, i.e., contract. I was referring to the distinction in law between Hindu and Muslim law of marriage: A Hindu marriage is essentially a religious sacrament whereas the Muslim marriage is in the nature of civil contract, with all its incidents of offer and acceptance, presence of witnesses and necessity of consideration. This was just a comparison to the author's query of marriage agreement and not with any intention to defame any religion or caste. You seem to use very strong words against many experts without giving a patient look at the issue. So I meant that except Muslim marriage no other marriage can be made on contract, hope you understand, if not it is up to you to mis-interprete the way you feel.

Mr.T.Kalaiselvan thank you for the Response.Do not confuse and bring in Muslim marriage in to picture which is totally irrelevant

i am sorry for your absurdity author!

by name you are hindu so only hindu law would be applied to your case.

an agreement to marry is not specifically enforceable.

but my dear author what should i understand by your sentence" Because of bad character of girl, boy don't want to rescind the marriage agreement."
if " don't " has appeared inadvertently you can rescind this marriage agreement.
