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?

Yes, you can appeal for marriage annulment based on fraud under the Indian law. Concealing educational qualifications, which were a major factor in your decision to marry, constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation, making your marriage voidable. You can file a petition in court for annulment, citing this deception as the grounds.
