hello all,
i got a marriage registration done 4 years back at the sub registrar's office. But I am not married according to any religious ceremony nor was there any exchange of garland (or anything as such) at the sub registrar's office. It was just a pure signature ceremony! And I have not lived even a day with him nor do I have any jewels that is symbolic of a marital nuptial knot. I have no children. But we are from different cast.
But now I want to cancel this registration since there is no compatibility what so ever. But he is a bit unstable in his decision. However, we mostly want to cancel the registration. may I know the procedure and do I need a lawyer for the same purpose? can it be done at the sub registrar's office itself? How long does it take and what is the fee and the documents needed?
He hasn't been nice to be ever since.Hence it is irreconcilable. So, in case he doesn't agree to cancel the registration then what other ways am I left with? please advice... I plan to have my life back as soon as possible.It is time I take this step. I really need help.
seeking advice,
Mann.

See, as you signed before the sub registrar of marriage it means your marriage got registered and it did not require formalities as you stated, now the thing is that you both can opt for mutual divorce before the court of law as your marriage can not be cancelled by the sub registrar,consult a nearby lawyer to help you in getting the divorce, it takes minimum six month's time and if he is not agree for mutual divorce then you can file petition for the nullity of the marriage before the court of law.

Yes,Mr.Sanjay is right once a marriage is registered whether formalities of marriage has been performed or not it can not be cancelled by Sub Registrar.you may file divorce petition on the ground of mutual consent or other available grounds.

If the marriage is registered, there is no chance of canceling it. You can only get divorce.

oh oh i am so worried now..... please guide me through. i also want to know the approx. fee/cost for the entire procedure. and can i get a separation(divorce) outside my home town since I dont want the realtives to know about it.
also since I have not lived with him even a day, is there any special provision for a quick/easy divorce?
And yes I got an assessment done at a student psychologist, the reports are still with me. It says he has tendency/orientation towards mania, and mental problems.
Thank u sir,
