Soliciting legal advice

I performed an arranged marriage of my daughter in India in Aug 2007 with an Indian settled in America. When the marriage talks started in Dec 2005, we were told by his parents that he has done his engineering in the US and holds a B.S. in computer science and that he holds a Green Card and will be getting his citizenship shortly. We got this marriage registered in India under Hindu Marriage Act in Sep 2007.

After a few months into the marriage, we found out the following:
1) He was already married in the US to a US citizen (US born to US parents) in Oct 2000.
2) He got his green card (2004) and US citizenship (2006) through this marriage to US wife.
3) He filed for divorce of his US wife in 2005 after applying for his citizenship.
4) He is a college drop out and is not a graduate

Even before getting the divorce, his parents started the process of getting him married to my daughter, back in Dec 2005. None of the points above were revealed to us during the marriage talks. Neither he nor his parents revealed any of the truth even after the marriage until we found out the above facts. On questioning, he and his parents said the first marriage was only to accquire US citizenship. Now allthough he is a US citizen he says he cannot sponsor my daughter till Aug 2009 as the US lawyers have advised him to complete 5yrs after getting green card via marriage (2004-2009).

My daughter and my family feel cheated and going through extreme mental agony. We are contemplating legal action against him and his parents for inducing us to perform this marriage through concealment of facts.
For the pain and trauma that my daughter and my family has been experiencing for past several months, we want to see these cheaters punished and not just get a legal seperation. I sincerely request you to advise me how to proceed in this matter.

Sincerely,
VR Subbu

Succession certificate

Hi Everybody,
My friend's father expired recently leaving behind his wife and two sons. During his life time my friend's father deposited a sum of Rs 8,000/- in the postal department savings scheme, after his death when my friend approached the postal department they insisted him to obtain succession certificate from the court,At present a total sum of Rs 10,000/- is lying to the credit of the decesed person.
Now my question is for mere sum of Rs 10,000/- is it necessary to obtain succession certificate?
2) is there any spececific minimum amount is there for obtainaing succession certificate in the succession act?
3)How far it is reasonable for the postal department to insist my friend to spend legal expenses which work out 50% of the amount lying in the postal department for obtaining succession certicate for getting megre amount of Rs 10,000/-?
4)Is there any case law which says "No succession certificate is required for obtaining debts up to megre amount of 20,000/-? if yes kindly provide me a suitable case law to avoid all legal expenditure for obtaining succession certicate for the purpose of a debt which is megre amount of Rs 10,000/-lying to the credit of deceased person in the account of postal department. it is very very urgent kindly help me in this regard.

Mohameddan Law

In India, In a Sunni hanafi Muslim family,

Whether Orphaned Grandchildren get any share in their grandmothers / Grand fathers property ?

As their Father predeceased his mother...

As per Principle of representation in "Mullah Pricniples of Mohameddan law", they are not entitle for any share ?

Whether muslim law in India is codified or still it is textual / traditional Mohameddan law is followed in Indian Courts ?

Mutual Divorce within one year

Dear Sir, Is it possible to get mutual divorce within one year given the fact that the husband and wife lived together for only 5 days. Can we refer the mutual divorce ordered by Delhi HC for a mraaigage that lasted only 8 months.
Here are the parties.
SH. TARUN KUMAR VAISH Petitioner
VERSUS
MS. MEENAKSHI VAISH

Below is the reasons mentioned for the divorce in the judgement.
"
The other relevant considerations which may be considered for granting the exemption from passage of one year before filing a petition for divorce by mutual consent are:-

(a) the maturity and the comprehension of the spouses;

(b) absence of coercion/intimidation/undue influence;

(c) the duration of the marriage sought to be dissolved;

(d) absence of any possibility of reconciliation;

(e) lack of frivolity;

(f) lack of misrepresentation or concealment

(g) the age of the spouses and the deleterious effect of the continuance of a sterile marriage on the prospects of re-marriage of the parties.
"

Please also clarify if nullity be ordered in case the alleged force on either party is DENEID but still the party is OK with the annullment.

1. In short, I am trying to know if the marriage can be dissolved either by mutual consent or by annulment ( inspite of denial of force) within one year.

2. What is the legal validity of a MoU or a compromise deed in case of a nullity or divorce.


Thanks.
