this is my friend's case written by her..kindly advise that what can be done.."Me and my spouse are jains.We got married in hindu temple with the rituals conducted. Photograph was clicked. However we had no witness, only people of temple & men sent by lawyer. We got a certificate from the temple post the rituals. Also in front of the lawyer, we made few signatures in a register, providing address proof details. 3 witnesses were arranged by the lawyer during commencement of marriagepost this we got a notarized document. We still dont have marriage certificate which had to be taken from Municipal Corporation. All the documents are with me. There are a lot of complications in the marriage. Now I want to know if this marriage is valid or not. Is it possible to close the chapter so that no one knows that such a marriage happened?" this is it,plz ask me if you want to know anything else..the boy again seems to be a fraud who backed off even after this marriage..my friend now doesnt want any relation with him as she and her family is getting mental harrassment.how can they get rid off this mess?if the marriage is valid,can she deny it? like she was pressurized and was made to do it forcefully? what can be the legal ways to finish it off? can we prove that the marriage was not valid even if it is?if yes then how?being so young its very difficult to have a divorce tag on her...please help.

Need to see the document in your hand if it is a valid certificate you need to file a divorce or to petition before court to declare the marriage as void due to forced consent. In case you need any help feel free contact us at M/s. S&P Law Associates at our mail id:sandplawassociates@gmail.com
