annule this marriage ?

Hello All , One of my friend recently got married against her will with a guy living in combined family, marriage happened without her consent on 1 August 2015. They both refused to slept together. One day she comes to know that the guy is involved in adultery with his brother wife. Now she want to stay away from that family , thinking for divorce or annulment of marriage if applicable. Her mother is not listening to her & keep on saying you stay there everything will be fine later. Then she talked to her brother (staying far) , he is supporting her. Now how this girl should proceed to get rid of this. Please help her. Thanks

you can file for annulement of marriage on the grounds that you were forced to marry but you need to prove it.it needs to be done within a year from the time of marriage

Thanks sarvanan , what proofs she needs to provide for this. @Raj you would do the same for your own family member in this situation. She just reached 21 yrs of age & In our Indian society so many time we needs to do the things against our will that's what she has done.

Married against UR wishes and ultimately came to know that the husband has an illicit relationship with his brother's wife.If true a pathetic situation for a wife,whose parents have also tried to ignore the happennings.

1.File for annulment of marriage stating that U were misled and got married under coercion.But U have to prove in the courtwith valid evidences..

2.  U have to carefully gather proofs of the relationship between UR husband and his brother's wife,ex: photographs,videos or audio conversations.

 

Mr.Raj 123,

U cannot reply in that manner to a lady victim,whose entire life is at stake.U have to be careful whoever U R.as these are very sensitive matters.Hope it shall not be repeated again.

Sorry to say Mr Raj does not seem to understand the situation. When a mistake is made it is hard to rewind it so therefore we cannot blame this person. I understand that the decision could or should have been made sensibly. as in Indian Society family and peer pressure is at the top and therefore sometimes especially for a female it is difficult to come out of it. Sometimes there are occasions when females do this to please their families. On other occasions there are people who are in a loving relationship and this is the only way they can come out and go back to their lovers. I am not suggesting that this has happened in this case. Nevertheless these things do happen in Society. Solution as in this case My suggestion is that she goes for annulment of marriage since this has recently happened approximately 30 days ago. Yes of course you need to prove certain facts and give reasons why this annulment is required. I hope this helps to a certain degree. You need to consult someone who has knowledge about family law and are currently in practice rather than someone that you may know. This requires an unbiased approach and a thorough knowledge of the law to make it speedy efficient and cost effective. I hope this helps.
