My friend’s family arranged her marriage using a fake name that doesn’t match any official documents. They did this to match horoscopes without informing the groom’s family. Now they’re living together. Is this considered illegal, and can it be a reason for divorce?

Yes, using a fake name to arrange a marriage is illegal under Indian law as it involves deception and fraud. This can be grounds for divorce as it violates the foundation of a valid marriage, which requires free and informed consent based on true identity.

Next Article I’m looking to buy a 1700 sq ft plot (30×60). It’s part of a layout approved around 25 years ago. The seller bought it in 1989 from the original landowner, who gave the power of attorney to someone else. The seller got the ‘patta’ in 2010 and has the original sale deed and a copy of the power deed, but no original or copy of the mother deed. He’s owned the plot since 1989 and there’s no record of any transaction since then in the EC. Is this a safe purchase? Would I be able to get a home loan for this property?
