Legally you cannot marry her!

She was within prohibited degrees of relationship when you both were Hindus.

Therefore, after converting to Christianity, still Hindu Law will be applicable in this regard.

You cannot marry a person after conversion/adoption, whom you could not have married before conversion/adoption.

Dear querist

There is no option in law for you. Mr. Bhadra is right and I also agree with Mr. Naik, nothing left to add

Hi, we have some issues with my wife family, they trying to keep me what they will say simply i have to paly according to them.

If I refused their words they will irrespect and my wife and her mother will use vulgarism and try to hit me as well and she is between 6 to 7th week pragnant and she try to abort but i refused because she is staying with her parent their house, I dont know whether they abort or not.

She never stay with our parants max about 4 days. within the two year,

How can i get the information and what can i do as she is not speaking with me.

I am not able to go their house because they informed their village they will hit me.
