Is this a defective charge framed by Magistrate.

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 07 October 2010 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Experts,

An husband is charged with cheating in marriage for he has suppresed a pre-marital love affair with another woman and hence failed to consummate the marriage.

The above charge does not name or identify the woman with whom the husband had/having affairs. Can this vagueness and indefiniteness of the charge a material defect.

No woman was identified by police also bus some name is mentioned in the 161 statement.

Moreover can there be any dishonest intensions attributed to the husband in getting the consent of a wife by suppressing a love affair, if the husband was in love with another woman why he should marry some other woman.

Can the defect stated above a material defect in the charge.

I also do not think that the allegations are sufficient to frame any charges. Better go for quashing.
