Friends, I need your help again.
The wife party sends us a message to settle down the matter through police and other sources. I am not sure about their commitment to close this matter, but I have below questions; please give your valuable suggestions to close this matter. I am not in position to believe my lawyer as he is seeing both parties as source of income.
Here is the brief summary of marriage:
· Marriage happened on June, 2013 (as per my knowledge Divorce eligibility starts from Jun 2014.
· 498 FIR Filed on Nov 2013 (I am in Andhra Pradesh, so as per my knowledge it requires three months’ time in Lokadalat for the second motion).
Got regular bail, Charge sheet not yet filed.
· She possessed some gold and other valuables worth 3.5 Lakhs. I possessed some gold and other stuff worth 70K
My Questions:
1) Can we apply for void and null the marriage, if both parties agreed on the basis of forced marriage. This is a fact, her father forced her marry me, we only lived together for 7-8 weeks
a. If yes, do you think this is a good option and how long it will take time?
2) If above options doesn’t work, should I wait till June 2014 to apply for divorce?
3) After one year of completion, if she applied divorce and I agreed to go it ex parte, do you think its good option and what are the pros and cons in this scenario.
Or Should I go for MCD?
4) What is the best time to give money and get my gold back? If they agreed to settle the matter by taking some money, give us our gold back.
This is what I am thinking, so what do you guys suggest
i) Give 3 lakhs money + her stuff after closing the 498a case and taking back my gold and other stuff
ii) After filing the divorce case by her, I will give the remaining amount to middle man and he will give the money after the ex parte divorce.
