A 28-year-old man is questioning the validity of his marriage performed with rituals, a pandit, and a witness, but without a certificate. The couple has never lived together, and the man wishes to annul the marriage. While the marriage is considered valid and legal, it has not been consummated, which may allow for annulment. The advice suggests amicable settlement with families or seeking legal counsel to file a court petition, as the wife may have rights to conjugal rights, maintenance, and legal action if the marriage is not recognised.
