Well at this stage you can contest the case he filed, and until the girl is divorced you cannot marry her any where else.

It ther any possiblity to get a mutual divorce as that would only be fastest, Otherwise he will involve you in litigations. Even if you file for divorce it would be lenghty.

You need get the matter to get solved mutually so as to get rid of this problem at the earliest.

No Sir as they have malicious intention ,they are not ready to come on mutual platform .Is there any other means to Lodge any case and pressurise them to come on mutual ??

Filling the petition under section 9 HMA doesn't mean that valid marriage exists, the woman can always challenge the validity of marriage. You require real experience and intelligent lawyer to handle the case. The Family Court has to be satisfied by sufficient evidence of valid marriage to allow decree of RCR to husband and if he fails to prove the existence of valid marriage, the woman automatically is free to move ahead with proper marriage somewhere else. No need for any decree of divorce is the marriage itself is not valid, mere living together or going through some fake ceremony doesn't make a valid Hindu Marriage.
