Learned Advocates,

Wife in her petitioner before family court pleads that the marriage is not solemnized according customs prevailing in her community.

But in her complaint to police which is registered as FIR she admitted that the marriage was performed as per the hindu rites and customs.

the marriage is however registered.

Is this inconsistent stand an abuse of family court process?

Please clarify.

it does not amounts to abuse of family court process. It is contradictory statement. Any statement given before the police cannot be considered

These types of statements are most common in matrimonial cases and cannot be looked into much saeriously

Ld advocates,

Please note wife is alleging that nuptial ceremony is mandatory for solemnization in the petition before family court. Where as in the FIR no such stand was taken.

Wife is maliciously linking nuptial ceremony with the solemnization of marriage. Not sure how sich contradictory statement can hold much water from the begining.

You can make full use of the contradiction to your own benefit and make your defence in the matrimonial case on that line.
