One of my relative got married in a hurry as he had limited holidays. On the marriage night, bride told her in-laws that she is in love with someone else whom she cannot marry for quite some time. When her family forced her to marry she could not say no (out of several reasons) and that she could not remain with her new husband as a wife either. She wanted to run away next day. Her family was informed of the matter. But because of society, girls family don't want to take the matter to the court. What can this boy do when he won't get the divorce or annulment. This boy is NRI. If he don't come back to India or contact this girl's family for one year and neither this girl agrees to compromise or contact this boy - what will happen then?
This girl is stubborn and said that If she will be forced to go back to her in-laws she will commit suicide. I don't understand her frame of mind at all. Bride's family at all costs want to hush-hush the matter. Girl wants to buy time and she will get that and she don't like this boy either. This boy cannot trust her anymore now. Before marriage when he asked her she completely gave different answers. Later she told him that she don't have any passport or don't have any intention to go abraod also. He even talked to her family later, then they agreed to write mutual consent of annulment on stamp paper that this marriage never existed. marriage took place in village where they have reputation. But this annulment is not valid lawfully. They said that the boy is free to marry again. This boy is very innocent and excepted that as true. But later he came to know that this annulment is not valid.
If this boy file for divorce - then brides family can get furious, as they don't want people to know about this. where he can file for divorce if their relatives or friends should not come to know?
What if they will force this girl again to compromise. Then she will tell lies to this boy and make her in-laws life a living hell out of revolt. This boy wants that she should divorce him and wait for this other boy to marry her later.. but then her own family don't want that. how complicated this is.
Latest development is that the boy who abroad now, cannot come back before new vacation is assigned. that can be 6 months-one year. When he contacted the girl family on phone. They told him that the case is closed from their side. He is free to marry abroad. how can this be possible. If girls of indian origin for marriage were available abroad before he would never had married in india. Girls abroad perfer white man or indians with large bank balance.
How long can he wait if this family refuses to go for mutual divorce? We know that this girl is living alone somewhere and not with the family.
Can waiting will weeken the case or strengthen the case? The boy never deserted the girl, it was girl who left the boy and told everyone that she will never go abroad. she never wanted to. Nobody can force her to that either.
Boy's life is screwed now - he cannot marry again in India and neither there is any hope of compromise from girl's side.
Can he apply for ex-partee divorce now or after some time without marriage certificate or anyother proof in the world. All the proofs like photos or video are with the girl's family.
