My partner and I got married while I was under the influence of alcohol, but I didn’t know it was happening at the time. I went home and only realized what had occurred a few days later when he called and mentioned the marriage. I was devastated and went to the Arya Samaj Mandir, where the priest, after hearing my story, declared the marriage void. But this person has stolen my important documents and is now claiming we’re married, demanding money. I’m terrified and don’t know what to do. Should I contact a lawyer or file a police complaint? I want to keep this situation private. Any advice would be appreciated.

You should immediately contact a lawyer and file a police complaint. The priest’s declaration is not legally binding, but it can provide valuable evidence. Your partner’s actions constitute theft and potentially coercion, so seeking legal action is crucial.

Previous Article Respected Sir, I understand that government employees can be suspended if they remain in custody for over 48 hours.

Next Article My mother, like many others, trusted a local couple, the Goyals, to manage a small savings group. She started with around 80-100 members, each contributing ₹400 per month. They used to give handwritten cards for monthly entries, but no formal agreements were made. However, the Goyals cheated everyone, including my mother, who is now in judicial custody after investors filed a case against her. We have proof in the form of those cards, but we can’t take action against the Goyals because we lack evidence. They even have four blank cheques my mother gave them in good faith initially, and they’re threatening to file cases against her. The Goyals, who run an unregistered finance business, have cheated several others, including eight women before my mother, and are well-connected politically. They have assets worth crores. We’re in a difficult position and need strong action. Can you advise us on how to proceed? Also, what grounds can we use to seek bail for my mother?
