Dear Mr. Mrinalkanti, If you have applied for the marrige but your marrige has not been registered and no certificate of registration has been issued by the registrar, there is no marriage at all.  Under Special Marriage Act, after applying for registration, before completion of 90 days, the marriage is required to be performed and if it is not performed in the eyes of law, it is not a marriage at all.  So you need not worry.  Regards.  Adv. Deepak  ddkharpudikar@indiatimes.com  9850390145

No sir,marriage is registered and cirtificate is  already issued.but social marriage not yet happened.

In that case, you can apply for the nullity of the marriage on the bases of non-consumption of the marriage. Girl can also use fraud as additional marriage ground and you have to accept the same to get it annuled. This way the nullification is faster.

Marraige is marraige. Registration is strong proof of marriage.

Do not repeat that "social marraige cancelled". It is not required. It is for the society and you.

Once marraige is registered, it is valid in the eye of law.

To nullify it, I agree with Mr.Hardik Mehta.

Only if there is prosecution by the girl against you for the alleged fraud, you can be punished.

Pleading before family court, will attract punishment.

can you say Mr. n. Ramesh,what kind of punishment{maximum]possible?

N RAMESH. (Advocate Chennai. Formerly Civil Judge. Mobile.09444261613)     09 December 2009

It depends on proof, gravity, nature and circumstances of allegation and evidence.

In your case, I am of the opinion that marrying a girl on false statement, without causing or intention of causing any wrongful gain to you or wrongful loss to the girl, the offence of cheating will not be attracted.

Any how, the maximum punishment prescribed for cheating under section 417 IPC is one year imprisonment or fine or with both.

Mrinal,

There is no punishent for the fraud since there is an understanding with the girl that this is for the sake of the annulment. Otherwise she has to prove the fraud and this cannot attract any punishment under IPC.
