I had a query regarding arya samj mandir marriage registration and cancellation. My sister got married with a guy in year 2010 but never stayed together. When we talked with my sister for marriage proposal than we came to know that she was allready married in some temple with a guy with a certificate and photograph issued by that temple.
After knowing all the details we consult a lawyer and he mentioned that the marriage was not legal as it was not registered. We also went to Municipal Corporation office to make sure if the marriage was not registered their also. And we found that it was not, we confirmed from the officer as well.
I would like to know that if we can go forward and arrange my sister's marriage with someone from a good family without legally getting divorced as the marriage was not legal as what we came to know from lawyers.
Also the certificate issued by mandir was full of mistakes, the name spelled of my sister was incorrect and stamps were also not properly stamped on the stamp paper. Also the witnesses were not from my sister side.
Now we have informed everything to family with whom we wanted to arrange my sister marriage and are demanding for legal separation documents. We informed that we cant file for divorce as the marriage was not legal. But still could not convince them as of now. Please let us know if the marriage is legal and divorce is required.
My sister is not interested in that guy with whom she got married and accepts her mistake.
