My court marriage in April 2016 hasn’t worked out. I’m unhappy and want to move on, but not with a formal divorce. Is it possible to end this marriage without going through the legal process and start a new life with someone else? Are there records kept for court marriages that could help with this? And if I do remarry, can I apply for a marriage certificate later?

Indian law requires a legal divorce to end a marriage, even if it was a court marriage. While there are no formal records for court marriages, the marriage would likely be registered with the registrar, making it difficult to hide. Remarrying without dissolving your current marriage is illegal and can have serious legal consequences.

Previous Article I wrote a heartfelt letter to a girl, expressing my feelings and wanting to meet her family. She was startled, and her reaction was quite strong. The police have filed a case, and I’m currently on bail. She later mentioned to my brother that she was scared by the letter and no longer wants to proceed with the case. I believe the charges will be dropped eventually, but can I stop the court from formally accusing me? I’m worried this might hurt my future. Would it be wise to ask her to appear in court and help dismiss the case before it goes any further? This would be the best way to save my career. Any advice on how to approach this sensitive situation?

Should I agree to his demands, or file a case against him?
