Marriage Annulment In India

Conditions, Procedure & Laws in Delhi
Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void. With the exception of bigamy and not meeting the minimum age requirement for marriage, it is rarely granted. A marriage can be declared null and void if certain legal requirements were not met at the time of the marriage. If these legal requirements were not met then the marriage is considered to have never existed in the eyes of the law. This process is called annulment. It is very different from divorce in that while a divorce dissolves a marriage that has existed, a marriage that is annulled never existed at all. Thus unlike divorce, it is retroactive: an annulled marriage is considered never to have existed.
Annulment of Marriage shall be applied within a year of marriage being a statutory period.
Grounds for Annulment:-
- Bigamy
- Marriage between Close Relatives
- Impotency
- Lack of Mental Capacity
- A Party was Under the Age of Consent
- Fraud or Force

The grounds for a marriage annulment may vary according to the different legal jurisdictions, but are generally limited to fraud, bigamy, blood relationship and mental incompetence including the following:
- Either spouse was already married to someone else at the time of the marriage in question;
- Either spouse was too young to be married, or too young without required court or parental consent. (In some cases, such a marriage is still valid if it continues well beyond the younger spouse's reaching marriageable age);
- Either spouse was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the marriage;
- Either spouse was mentally incompetent at the time of the marriage;
- If the consent to the marriage was based on fraud or force;
- Either spouse was physically incapable to be married (typically, chronically unable to have sexual intercourse) at the time of the marriage.
- The marriage is prohibited by law due to the relationship between the parties. This is the "prohibited degree of consanguinity", or blood relationship between the parties. The most common legal relationship is 2nd cousins; the legality of such relationship between 1st cousins varies around the world.
- Prisoners sentenced to a term of life imprisonment may not marry.
- Concealment (e.g. one of the parties concealed a drug addiction, prior criminal record or having a sexually transmitted disease)
An annulment may be granted when a marriage is automatically void under the law for public policy reasons or voidable by one party when certain requisite elements of the marriage contract were not present at the time of the marriage.


Judicial Separation In India

Conditions, Procedure and Laws in Delhi
Judicial Separation is a provision under Indian law which gives marriage a chance by not ending the marital ties but by allowing the husband and wife to stay apart, while still being married. Here, both the parties get a chance to introspect before they head on with the divorce proceedings. Under the decree of judicial separation both the parties live separately for a period of time but still carry the same legal status of husband and wife. Section 10 of the Hindu Marriage Act provides for Judicial Separation. Two Years separation is mandatory for applying Judicial Separation.
Following are the grounds on which judicial separation can be granted:
- after solemnization of the marriage, other party has treated their spouse with cruelty

- the other party has deserted the spouse for a continuous period of not less than 2 years immediately preceding the presentation of the petition

Section 9 Hma In India

(Restitution of Conjugal Rights)
Conditions, Procedure & Laws in Delhi
Law provides that when either husband or the wife withdraws from the society of the other, the aggrieved party may apply to the Court for a direction that the other party should live with him or her. (Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act). Such a petition is to be filed before the Family Court.

The petitioner is to satisfy the Court that the other party has without reasonable excuse withdrawn from his or her society. So, if your wife has without reasonable excuse withdrawn from your society, you may file petition before the Family Court for such a relief. When you file such a petition, Court is to satisfy that you have a bona fide desire to bring your spouse to your company. Remember, when the Court finds that your own conduct debars you from seeking this relief of the company of your spouse or a fact shows that you are taking advantage of your own wrong, Court shall dismiss your petition.

Your petition may be dismissed in case Court finds that there is no truth in the statements made in it. If Court finds that your wife has reasonable excuse in withdrawing your society, even then your petition shall be dismissed. Court shall dismiss your petition, if it is found that there is any other legal ground for dismissing the same. Question arises as to when the other party would have reasonable excuse to withdraw from the society? In this respect, it is to be remembered that if your wife withdraws from your society and she alleges that she withdrew from your society for a reasonable excuse, it is for her to prove that she withdrew for a reasonable excuse. If it is proved that your conduct as a husband is grave and weighty matter which gives the wife good cause for leaving you, you as husband would not be entitled to obtaining a decree for restitution of conjugal rights.
The decree of restitution of conjugal rights is not binding if the spouse has sufficient reason of desertion and both husband and wife can file this petition before the Family Court.


Domestic Violence In India

Conditions, Procedure, Laws in Delhi
Any act, omission or commission or conduct by husband or his relatives to wife (hereinafter referred as an aggrieved person) shall constitute domestic violence in case it harms or injures or endangers the health, safety, life, limb or well-being, whether mental or physical, of the aggrieved person or tends to do so and includes causing physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse and economic abuse; or harasses, harms, injures or endangers the aggrieved person with a view to coerce her or any other person related to her to meet any unlawful demand for any dowry or other property or valuable security; or has the effect of threatening the aggrieved person or any person related to her by any conduct, otherwise injures or causes harm, whether physical or mental, to the aggrieved person.
The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, provides its own protection and self-defense as reasons in which the above will automatically become invalid. The main purpose is the protection of the wife or female live-in partner from the husband/partner/relatives.
We can help you file for a case under this section, with our specialized services helping women in distress. Guard of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, commonly known as Domestic Violence Law provides the diversity of rights to women casualties of Domestic harassment. The reliefs are as follows:-
- Right to reside in Shared Household
- Protection Orders
- Residence Orders
- Monetary Reliefs
- Right to Maintenance
- Child Custody & Visitation Rights
- Compensation Orders

Such human rights include a claim of pecuniary relief, rights to dwelling, compensation for domestic violence, protection order, and child custody in the middle of other reliefs. Domestic violence Act has approached into force with the object of expeditious removal of the claim of women who are victims of domestic violence. The complaint is filed in the Court of Magistrate which is authorized to pass orders. Domestic violence has moved toward force with the objective of as long as monetary justice and independence for women victims of domestic violence. The law purposely provides the right to habitation. Right to residence includes shelter in the common household irrespective of the fact whether the wife has the right, name, or notice over the property/residence. This specific provision is put in law to take into custody the threat of abandoning the woman and children, if any, without a crown and shelter in case of matrimonial disputes.
Hence, the law lean-to a mandate on the husband to provide residence to the wife. Such residence can be a mutual household where husband and wife lived together and made such house their matrimonial house. Alternatively, the law mandates the husband to provide interchange residence comparable to the one previously enjoyed by the wife while living together. Law relating to Domestic brutality has urbanized significantly. Yet, the law is still in determining years with different judgments and case laws are evolving. Our expert domestic violence lawyers keep tabs and updated with changing laws for the successful prosecution or defense of the complaint. Good lawyers ensure maximum benefits to victims. In defense and ensures the best strategy to counter the claim and get justice in cases of motivated complaints. The case under the law is begins by filing a complaint element all events of domestic violence before the Court of magistrate. Such a complaint is generally accompanied by an interim application. The magistrate trying the complaint is authorized to execute summons of the case through a protection officer or by the alarmed police station. In a terrible case requiring urgent relief, the court has the power to grant an ex-parte order.
Another important feature of the law is that relief can be claimed not only against the husband but also against in-laws. Earlier there were sights that domestic violence complaints cannot be filed against women. The rationale at the back such views was that Domestic violence is for the protection of women. However, this argument is set to rest by a decision of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi. Hence, the complaint about domestic violence is maintainable against females or women. The range of law is additionally widened in which it is elucidated that not only the wife but any other female livelihood in a domestic relationship can search for a remedy. Thus, the sister or mother can assert relief against the son or father and/or brother for the release. The law for the primary time is familiar with the survival of legal rights for females who are not married to claim monetary release, compensation, residence, etc from their partner.

Child Custody In India

Conditions, Procedure and Laws in Delhi
After a marriage breaks down or ends up in separation of spouses, the person who gets affected the most is the children, who is born out of the marriage. Thus, while keeping in mind the right of parent’s to the custody of a child, the Indian Law, holds the child’s welfare as the most crucial factor of consideration while deciding upon who gets the custody of a minor child.

Which Factors Constitute Welfare of A Child, there are three factors which constitutes the welfare of the child:-
- Ethical upbringing of the child
- Safe-keeping of the child
- Good education to be imparted
- Economic well-being of the guardian
Types of Custody:-
Permanent Custody: Permanent child custody means that the minor will be under the guardianship of that parent with periodical interaction and visitation with the other parent. The motive of the courts for this child custody decision is to give a better life to the child in a safe and fulfilling atmosphere and also make sure that the child is not divested of the attachment of the other parent during his or her shaping years
Interim Custody: It is allotted to make sure the progress of the child is maintained, while the case is pending before the court.
Legal Custody: Legal custody of a child does not like joint custody or a single parent has the right of child custody. It means that the court gives the right to both parents can take every important decision for the child-like education, medical treatment, etc.
Normally in mutual consent divorce cases, legal custody is granted to both the parents together but in contested or 498A cases where the divorce is complicated and parents do not agree with each other, then in such cases, the court grants legal custody to any of one parent
 Joint Custody: Joint child custody actually means that the child will be cared for by both parents alternately. In some cases, the rotation of the child between the parents may last for a few days, a week, or even a month. By These arrangements, the child can get attention and care from both parents and both parties equally can be an important part of the child.

Laws involved in Child Custody:- - Section 26 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
- Section 21 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005
- Guardians and Wards Act, 1891

Who Has A Right On Minor Child After Divorce?
Both the parents have an equal right to the custody of a child. However, who gets the custody of a child is still a question which the court has the power to decide upon. Moreover, when it comes to personal laws the statues are conflicting as compared to secular enactment in the form of The Guardian and Ward Act, 1890 which holds the welfare of the child as the paramount importance and thereby the court of competent jurisdiction endeavor to strikes a balance between the two. And as because the custody of the children is given to one parent that doesn’t implies that the other parent cannot be in contact or see the child. The courts in India makes sure that the child gets attention and affection of both the parents. The court gives the other parent visitation rights of which the conditions are determined by the court.
The custody of a child can be claimed either by mother or the father. In any of the case where the two of the parents are not in the picture due to operation of some other laws or deceased then in such situation, the maternal or the paternal grandparents or any other relatives can claim custody of the child strictly out of compassion towards the child. In many cases, the court appoints the third person as the guardian of the child.

Who Has The Priority Claim To The Custody of A Child?
The Hon’ble Supreme Court and other courts in India have repeatedly mentioned that for the custody of a minor, the only consideration is the welfare of the minor, irrespective of the claims of the parties to the custody of children.
Under Hindu law and as well as Secular law, the custody of the child under the age of five is usually awarded to the mother. In most of the cases fathers gets the custody of the older boys and mother of the older girls. Moreover, child’s interest is the main criteria and the choice of the child above the age of nine is considered by the court. Wherein a mother if found to ill-treat and neglect the child is not given custody.
