Confused, i am married or not ??????

Hi abhinetra how r you?

I dont know the legal statua but i have seen in movies without fere marriage is not completed..Lets see what experts say..

 

1) A Hindu marriage may be solemnized in accordance with the customary rites and ceremonies of either party thereto.

 

(2) Where such rites and ceremonies include the saptpadi (that is, the taking of seven steps by the bridegroom and the bride jointly before the sacred fire), the marriage becomes complete and binding when the seventh step is taken.

 

THIS IS SECTION 7 OF HMA 1955

 

REGARDS

 

Some more to add on:

In FIR against me, My bride blaimed me with her statement that i denied for mrg related to dowry demands before saptpadi.

But that is not the case, Till date chargesheet not submitted by IO till date from the DOC 12052011.

Some suggest me, I am free to marry at anytime and some not.

Many suggest, Do marriage after case is over not before that.

So situation is very much confusing, What to do ?

Dear Abhinatre You should file an petition before court for declaration of null & void marriage under section 11-12 of HMA. noone can save you or anyone from false allegations till they do not prove wrong. feel free to call

the marriage is void

in case of void marriage, obtaining formal decaration of void marriage from court is optional (not compulsary). But its better to get such declaration.

formally, u do not need to serve any legal notice to wife.

section 11 is applicable

evenif she files cases, those will be automatically quashed if u move to HC with ur relevant facts.

u r legally free to remarry even without obtaining void marriage declaration

sec. 11 deals with just declaration

sec. 12 deals with annulling process of the marriage.

The marriages covered by Section 11 are void ipso jure, that is, void from the very inception, and have to be ignored as not existing in law at all if and when such a question arises. Although the section permits a formal declaration to be made on the presentation of a petition, it is not essential to obtain in advance such a formal declaration from a court in a proceeding specifically commenced for the purpose.
