My fiancée and I, both from Mysore, Karnataka, have been deeply in love for six years. We secretly married a year ago in a small temple, witnessed only by ourselves. Sadly, I’ve lost the photos we took during the ceremony. We’ve also been physically intimate for four years. I have photos from our mobile phones, her handwritten love letters, and a year’s worth of WhatsApp conversations. Now, she’s getting engaged to someone else. I’m heartbroken and need legal guidance. Could an advocate advise me on my legal options, how to file a case against her, and the procedures involved? We have a few photos from our wedding taken on a friend’s phone, but he lost his phone six months ago. What are the legal implications of this situation?

Based on Indian law, your secret marriage may be considered valid if it was conducted according to Hindu rituals and witnessed by at least two people. The photos and other evidence you have can support your claim. However, the absence of a registered marriage certificate and loss of original photos may pose challenges. An advocate can advise you on the legal options, including filing for a declaration of marriage and seeking a remedy for the breach of promise.
