My brother married his girlfriend two years ago without her parents’ permission. She chose to stay with her family. But she hasn’t contacted us in two years, and hasn’t returned home. My brother explained everything to her family, but they believe the marriage is invalid. They were married in a Gurudwara and registered their marriage officially. Her maternal uncle, a lawyer, told my brother the marriage is illegal. What should we do about getting a divorce?

Since the marriage was registered officially in a Gurudwara, it is legally valid under Indian law. The girlfriend’s family’s disapproval does not invalidate the marriage. To proceed with divorce, your brother should consult a lawyer to initiate legal proceedings.
