This query is : Resolved
Dear sir, My name is Jaison, i'm from kerala. I was in love with my first cousin.she
was my mother sister's daughter. But our grand mother's are different coz
our grandfather married twice. My mother is from the first wife and her
mother is from the second wife. We talked to our parents about our love but they were against it.I was
working in dubai and I came from dubai and we got married at a registrar
office in bangalore,karnataka coz she was from bangalore and I was from
kerala. The marriage was as per christian marriage act and it was without
the knowledge of our parents. After marriage she went to her home and I left
to dubai. We kept it as secret for 3 months.then they came to know about it and they brain washed her and told her if she comes with me her parents will
go and die. And her parents they are trying to get divorce. They forced hee to sign the
documents. She is afriad now and she will not come with me without the permission of
her parents. And last month I came to know that they already filled the case in the court But i've not recived any notice regarding this. I know very well that if the
divorce happens she will commit suicide and she tried 2times.but she will
never point her finger against her parents. They are not allowing me to meet her.So I want to stop the divore case anyhow. Is it possible to get divorce without my will? And if I'm not responding for the court notice will she get divorce? And is it illegal to marry firstcousin as per christian marriage act? Please help me... This is all about two lifes.... Please.........

I think your marriage is null and void. You married your sister. Don't justify your self that by saying she is your first cousin, grandmother differs etc.. She not your belonged to one another family., she is daughter of your mother's sister. . (its equally to your parent's daughter)While being so how can you marry her?

Dear Mr. Tom, what I understand is that Jaison has clearly mentioned that the girl he has married is his mother's step sister's daughter as his mother's father (his grand father) had married two women, his mother is from first wife and his aunt is from second wife, then the girl whom he has claims to be his first cousin and has married her is of his aunt's daughter, then how can that girl be his father's daughter? She is obviously his cousin. And when he says her parents it means his aunt and uncle are stopping them from meeting. Please correct me if I am wrong. Next, Mr. Jaison, I think marring the cousin from mother's side as per christian marriage act is not illegal, but am not 100% sure of that, kindly check with experts.

I think we should not try to inflict our moral standards on others in answering.
first,I do not think she comes under the conventional defenition of sister.
further as per the christian practices,this marriage do not seems to come under prohibited one.
I feel ,Jaison should seek the help of common friends and relatives first considering the fact that the marriage is already consummated.

Yes. As suggested by expert Mahendrakumar it is better to resolve the issue by involving friends and relatives instead of through court.
