married since 7 months, arrange marriage. From honeymoon boy showed no inclination towards sex. On questioning, said needs more time. I wanted to seek medical help which he denied. Even after showing concers husband did not want to even adress the fact. Now that the matter came in front of my parents, he claims that i am lieing and he did have sex, which is impossible,cz as a wife i would know. I feel cheated and duped by him for hiding the facts from me before marriage that he is incapble of having a normal sexual life. Since it was an arrange marriage i did not have any means to check this before the wedding. I want to contest divorce on the grounds of non consummation of marriage and mental cruelty, i want to know how do i prove in the courtthat the marriage is not consummated.because i dont want him to let him go so easily. I am devastated . I am doctor so i know the facts but i need to know the legal implications.
Kindly share your expert opinion.

Yes. You have rights to get divorce on this ground.. But you have to prove that he is impotent or marriage not yet consumed like that..
In case by medical test, if the fact is true that sexual relationship not yet consumed but he is able to normal sex life,
Then you will loose your case.. Better you may consult any local advocate..

Now a days this is being the reason for most of the divorce cases.. Being as a victim you have all your legal rights..
But the same time if your fact is true mean, being as a doctor there is nothing to post as anonymous..

Is UR husband also a doctor? Married for 7 months and not consummated.
Well, I would not suggest U legal remedies right now.At the first instance as the marriage was an arranged one,what was UR assessment of UR husband,as far as his approach and behaviour towards U since engagement.In case there is any mental or physical default with him regarding women in particular that can be rectified with proper counselling,mediation and nothing wrong in consulting a psychiatrist.Hence don't take any harsh or hurried decisions that would spoil the lives of both of U.Better involve the elders of both the families and sort out the matter amicably.Legal process will certainly ruin both of U,physically financially and mentally.

Apart from Divorce, you have an option to get the marriage declared annulled. You have a very short period for that.
Annulment of marriage means you never get married and your status is as a spinster.
But at the same time, availing this option, you loose a good chance to harass your husband and the theory of take revenge (if you have) spoils.
Your both are educated and live among the educated persons. The problem is complicated but have patience and try to resolve it.
