Annulment of marriage on the ground of force is easy to say but most difficult to prove. The forcing an adult, grownup lady to sit in the marriage mandup in presence of number of visitors is most unbelievable story a lawyer will state for his client in the petition and will feel he is going to satisfy the Family Court to believe this story as if the presiding officer of the Family Court are small kid who are being told fairy tale in primary school. The marriage is very much valid, not voidable under section 11 of the HMA on the ground of force as suggested. The best course is to wait for 1 year to pass and file for divorce either jointly by mutual consent or by the wife on any available ground if that applies to facts and circumstance of her case. If wife is seeking divorce, the husband will not mind agreeing to it if that is done without any demand of alimony by the wife as there is no child nor a long period marriage. |
the girl is expceting money from the guy and this is her second forced marriage.
