Is this perjury

Prakash (Querist) 01 October 2012 This query is : Resolved
Ld counsels,

Wife in her cross examination before the family court denied the suggestion that the marriage is solemnized and stated that marriage is not solemnized.

But in the cross examination before the magistrate court she had stated that she doesnt know whether she made any statement that the marriage was not solemnized.
Will this contrary stand goes to show that wife is misleading the court by giving false statements during cross examinations.

Thanks in advance.

yes the statement does amount to perjury, if she denies the factum of marriage before one court but accepts before the other.

every statement is recorded on oath so in case she is trying to play clever in order to procure some favourable orders by concealing facts or by otherwise stating wrong facts then certainly she can be held for perjury, provided you prove it on record.
