अगर एक शादी से पहले लड़की का परिवार व लड़की स्वयं लडके को देख करके, पसंद करके शादी करते हैं व शादी के ६ महीने बाद शादी यह कह कर तोड़ देते हैं कि लड़का मोटा है या लडके का वजन ज्यादा है तथा लड़के वालों को दहेज़ कानून का सहारा लेकर ब्लैकमैल करने की कोशिश करता है लेकिन लड़की की ससुराल में लिखी गयी डायरी से यह पता चलता है कि लड़की के साथ एक स्कूल जिसमे वो नौकरी करती थी इंगेजमेंट से १-२ महीने पहले कुछ गलत हुआ था, जिसके कारण लड़का पसंद न होते हुए भी यह शादी की गयी तथा यह भी कि शादी के बाद लड़के वाले जो की लड़की के परिवार की अपेक्षा धनवान है उनसे शादी तोड़कर पैसा वसूला जा सके तो क्या ऐसे केस में:
१.Under Sec 12 of Indian Marriages Act application for nullifying the marriage can be moved as no sexual relationship was established by the girl with her husband rather she intentionally avoided it.
2. Whether application for marriage to defraud and earn money by misuse of dowry provisions can be moved.
3. Any other course of action available for the family of the groom.
4. In case the matter moves in litigation, whether the groom's parents are liable to reimburse the bride's family for the gifts given by them to the relatives of groom at the time of marriage.

Section 12 in sub-section (1) lays down that marriage may be voidable and may be annulled on petition of Husband or Wife and Decree of Nullity may be granted if (a) marriage is not consummated owing to impotency.
if wife refuses to have sex file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty .
in case case goes into court wife will claim gifts given to groom, his relatives at time of marriage .

Well explained by Mr. Ajay Seth. So, the provisions of section 12 will not maintainable if the stated are the grounds for it. The divorce petition can alternately be filed u/s 13 of HM Act under the grounds of cruelty for refusing to have sexual intercourse which is a vital issue under the provisions of the marriage laws.
In the event of the bride claiming back her articles/gifts etc, it has to be returned.

What he is saying that there were relations of girl prior to marriage and after six months of marriage it is broken on the ground that the boy is fat.
In the circumstances it is not easy to prove earlier relations and also that marriage was not consummated .
The girl side can put all marriage related cases but though you have to face courts but can come out with proper planning of defense.
