My girlfriend and I were together since June 2014, and we even went on a honeymoon. But three months ago, her father arranged a marriage for her with another man, and she got engaged. Her parents know about our relationship, and my family is supportive. However, they are not helping, and her family, the other guy, and she herself have verbally abused me, threatening to file a police case if I ever contact her again. I don’t have a marriage certificate, but I have other evidence of our relationship. What can I do to get her back?

Under Indian law, you cannot legally force your girlfriend to be with you. Your relationship, even with evidence, does not constitute a marriage or legal claim to her. You cannot compel her to leave her engagement or force her to be with you. Your best course of action is to respect her decision and move on.

My marriage took place six months ago. My husband’s bio-data mentioned he was a B.Com graduate, and they showed us two shops as proof of their financial standing. After marriage, I discovered he acts, thinks, and speaks like someone who hasn’t completed basic education. He struggles with simple English words. I verified his details and found he’s actually a 10th standard dropout. He obtained his degree from a village college where anyone can get one without completing 10th or 12th, but he never disclosed this. I asked him about his marks multiple times, but he always ignored me. I’m a CA Inter pass and am currently pursuing my CA Final. Two months after marriage, I discovered his fake education and left the house, never to return. We obtained a divorce through our community on a stamp paper, but I know it’s not legally valid. As he’s illiterate, he doesn’t even know it’s not legally binding. Can I appeal for marriage annulment based on fraud?
